remove wallpaper that has been painted over?
The lady that does and has done all our wallpapering in the room uses the
following method and it works very well as I have tried it myself in my
sewing room. Bucket of warm water, 2 cups vinegar or more, couple squirts of
dishsoap, a roller brush (the kind you paint with). Wet the rollerbrush in
the warm water and go over the wallpaper until well soaked (give or take
5-15 min) repeat if necessary (the wettening process) then use a spatula and
peel off.
I have tried the tiger claw but found with the vinyl coated wallpaper it
made lots of holes and yes the water got behind it, but when I got ready to
pull it off I had to do it in bits and pieces cause the claw had torn the
paper. I rather let the wall wet and then pull off in one sheet.
Hope this helps,

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
