A stand up clothes dryer works well as does a hair dryer. Be prepared to use a lot of elbow grease. Time and effort are the key.
Sorry, clothes dryer and hair dryer??? Not sure how that works taking off wall paper? Can u explain?
Quick and easy it is not. Messy too. Score and steam is what I have always had the best results. The more you score, the more steam gets in, the easier to remove. Don't kid yourself, it is a project, but by doing it yourself, it saves a ton of money.

I use a 50/50 mix of vinegar and hot eater in a sprayer. Spray the wallpaper, let it sit to saturate. Scrape off with a putty knife. The paper backing may remain do the same. Wash the adhesive residue with the same mixture and a sponge.
What is a " hot eater"?
