Okay, I googled it and got nothing useful.

I removed the wallpaper from the kitchen and want to paint. Of course
the glue residue has to be removed. I have been that route before
using just warm water and scrub pads - not a fun occupation.

I vaguely recall seeing something somewhere about a specific product
for this job, or at least a product that works on it. I bought some
TSP but the local newspaper help column says it is a bad idea as
getting the glue plus tsp residue off cleanly is a problem.

Anybody?

Warm water and time. Get one of those 99 cent sprayers from the store.
Spray water on there. LET IT SIT for a minute or two. Wipe gently. Look
down the wall at an angle, and you can see if you have left any boogers of
glue. Do it again. Work in small areas, like 3 feet by 3 feet.

I have removed all the wallpaper from a 1800 sf house. There isn't an easy
way to do it. There ain't no magical chemicals.

Warm water and time.

Determination and patience help, too.

Have fun.
