Hi Marianne,
All you need is some hot water and a few drops of dish detergent. Mix them together and soak the sponge, then gently wash off the wallpaper paste. Rinse, Repeat, Rinse, Repeat ;) Be sure to change the water if it gets too full of paste. Click on the link below for all of the details. Wishing you the best.

Mix hot water and a few drops of liquid dish soap in a bucket. Soak a sponge in the solution and gently rub it onto a section of the wall, wiping away glue residue as it softens. Rinse soap from the walls and dry the surface with a clean rag or towel.
