Spray with warm water and vinegar equal parts let set a few minutes and scrape off. Don't gouge the wall with the scrapper. Best to work a small area at a time. Good luck.

After scraping off the top layer, mix equal parts hot water and liquid fabric softener and wipe liberally on the remaining paper with an old t-shirt or sponge. Let sit 10 minutes, then peel off. Like magic!

Rent the steamer. And score score score, the more holes, the more steam gets in and easier to remove.
