I decided to finally re-do the kid's bathroom after finding a great bargain at a yard sale for a bathroom set. The kid's bathroom has really ugly wallpaper and border on the wall it was stuck on there good and tight - 2 layers in fact! I filled a spray bottle (new one from Dollar Tree) with equal mix of water and white vinegar. I sprayed the wall paper and used a pan scraper and started peeling. It took the paper off quickly and without much work. I thought I would share this as a safe, environmentally friendly, and best of super cheap - less then $1 for a large bottle of vinegar. I was able to do the entire bathroom for less then $1!
Great idea -- I've spent a few too many dollars on the wallpaper removal sprays. Will try this next time. Here's an article about using water and rollers. Could do the trick as well.
I wanted to remove wallpaper in one of my bathrooms but was told by several that it would practically be impossible since the wallpaper had been painted over. I'd like to hear from those of you who had good luck removing wallpaper that had been painted.
