Has anyone found wallpaper stripping solution worth using?
For example: http://tinyurl.com/3yrsg2h

I've also heard of people using vinegar. Is that any good? What is the
dilution ration?

I've also seen mention of using laundry fabric softener, (diluted). Has
anyone found that to be effective?

I use hot water with a squirt of washing up liquid and apply it with a 6
inch brush. Leave to soak for about ten minutes and then recoat with water.
If you get it wet enough, the old wallpaper will just peel off without
hardly having to use the scraper at all.

The heavy duty scraper skims all the paste residue off and gets rid of
all those little nibs that you normally have to sand off when dry

You can soak the next section of
wall and allow it to soak in while you are stripping the previous section.
Put down some old sheets or blankets to soak up any spills and wipe off any
excess water from skirting boards etc. Cover sockets with old Tesco bags
and selotape.
