    combine warm water and vinegar in spray bottle, spray on, give it a five-ten minutes and scrape and peel away.

    I used a hair dryer in a circular motion for like 5-10 seconds on high on each spot as I pulled. It heated up the adhesive and pulled right off in a sheet. So easy!

    I would use the hair dryer option... although sometimes it just peels off in large sheets. We painted ours by priming with an oil-based primer (especially with MDF) and then painted normally... they look great and we avoided the replacement cost!
