Default remove wallpaper that has been painted over?

A wet sponge is fine ONLY if the paint allows the moisture through to the
paper!

Hi
I want to redo a room in my Cape Cod home. It has cheap white paint
over cheap light green paint over ugly wallpaper.

What is the easiest way to get it all down so I can paint it?

There are ugly lines showing through the paint, seams I guess. Half
of the rest of the house WAS done in paneling with no drywall behind
it. I fear finding that in this room too! The ugly lines are even on
the ceiling.

Tips? Steaming? A razor? Nu Wall over it? (worked very well on the
paneling upstairs)
THANKS
Tara


A sponge and a 4 inch putty knife. Sponge on get an area wet and then let
the water do its job. Takes a while but the stuff will come right off. Not
much clean up for painting either. I just removed 3 rooms from wallpaper
hell recently. Just do not let it dry out. I started at the top and worked
down. Better when it is warmer.
