What is the easiest way to remove wallpaper backing?

This suggestion is from someone who tried to remove wallpaper backing in the past: Hire a professional!

Rent a wall paper steamer.

Try steaming if possible.Or dampening down with some warm water .Let soak Till softened .Then scrape off.

There is a fun little tool that you rub all over your wallpaper and it puts perforations into the paper that allows warm water to seep behind and loosen up the glue. You can find it at most large hardware stores.

Hope that helps :)

hot soapy water

I have one of those and it helped until I got to a wall I really need my dominant hand for, so am stuck. Thank you so much.

Thank you all so much! I may have to resort to hiring someone. Tough. Always been a DYI person. Now just look at all I want to do and can't. You all keep dyi'n it and sharing!
