Default removing wallpaper

I have removed a bunch of wall paper in my time, none of it easily. I
have tried the store purchased chemicals, steamers, scraping, etc. Its
just a messy job. I need to remove a border in the half bath. Looking
for reccomendations on getting the paper and glue off the wall. Are
there any home recipes you have had success with such as mild soap and
warm water? Any new or faithful products at the home center to ease
the job? Really hope this isnt going to turn into a full days job to
remove a border. Thanks.


I also have removed a bunch of wallpaper in my time. Warm water, watching
the paper to see how it reacts to same, and careful scrubbing works EVERY
time. The thing I have learned in countless hours of removing wallpaper is
that every wallpaper is different, and there is no easy way that applies to
all wallpapers.
