It's been a while since I've removed wallpaper but it seems like I mixed something that I had in the house with warm water. I put it in a spray bottle, wetting down the paper and had very little trouble removing the paper. I know there is only one layer of wallpaper on the wall, thank goodness. Thanks for any advice you may have. I just buy DIF, but you can use fabric softener and water. I think DIF works better. I usually use a little round tool that has little teeth that pokes holes in the paper (Tiger Paw I think its called) If your wall was sized or primed before the paper was hung, you're in good shape. If it wasn't then you have a job ahead of you. I just finished my kitchen. Sidney
