:I just removed wallpaper in 5 rooms, using the "Downy" method, and it beats the heck out of using a steamer or scoring device, or anything else!
Basically, take about 2 gallons of warm water, add a good 1/2 cup of Downy fabric softener to the water and mix it in.
I use a spray bottle to then spray the mix on the wall, some folks prefer a sponge.
Let it soak about 15-20 minutes, and then take a thin, wide-blade (4-6 inch) putty knife and away it goes!
After you remove the paper, take just plain warm water and clean off any remaining glue residue, and you're done.
I was quite skeptical about it when given the method, but I can tell you its the way to go!
I second it, worked perfectly for me. Just make sure you keep the wallpaper wet, it tends to dry in few minutes.
