  • Paper Tiger (the round thing that scores the paper....I think that's what it was called), and then gel wallpaper remover. Just spray it on, wait, and peel off the border.

  • Hot water and fabric softener. My MIL is a professional wallpaper hanger...this is her "trick". After scoring the paper with either a "tiger" or even a table knife..she sponges on a solution of hot water and fabric softner. About 4 cups to a bucket of water. Let it sit for 20 minutes and peel it away. good luck

  • the longer its up the harder it is to get down. I had to hire professional sheetrock men to sand my wall, border took out chunks because my original sheetrock people had not prepped my walls
