a steamer your best bet. Otherwise you can use a wet sponge and soak the wallpaper till it starts coming lose! It will need to get pretty wet before it comes off with a sponge
Sometimes it comes off easy, most of the time - not. Warm water in a spray bottle, and scraping it off. Test a corner and see if it gives any - you might be one of the lucky ones!
I have heard of spraying on a mixture of water and fabric softener as well, but you do have to really make sure it soaks in and gets the wallpaper wet so it comes off. I used vinegar mixed with water on mine, made sure it was saturated and soaked in and then peeled.
we successfully removed vinyl paper using a heave spray concentration of water & fabric softener. It was two huge walls & the paper peeled off along with "sheets" of backing/adhesive that looked & smelled like giant dryer (fabric softener) sheets! It was amazing ' amusing but easier than we expected!
