Use a scoring tool that you can use in circular motions. This will score the wallpaper and cut it into tiny little holes all over. Then you get a wallpaper dissolvant liquid that gets smeared on top of all the holes so that it soaks in. Let it sit on for a while. Directions will be on the back of the product. All of this is at Home Depot. Then peel off the paper. Removing wallpaper is not one of my favorite things. lol.
Dee ... Paper tiger will make little holes in the paper so you can spray a solution to looses glue, then use a scraper to remove the paper. DIF and Zinsser are both good products. Good luck!
If you can't get to the backing, you may need to score the paper with a tool. Paper Tiger is easy to find. Light pressure because you don't want to damage the wall behind the paper.
Mix 50/50 fabric softener & warm water in a spray bottle or garden sprayer. I've read that vinegar is as effective but I have never used it.
Allow the mixture to sit for 5 - 10 minutes so that it saturates the adhesive on the paper backing.
Scrape with a plastic scraper.
Once it is all removed, wash the walls with warm soapy water (blue Dawn is my go-to) and a microfiber cloth.
I've tried multiple methods including steamer and this worked best for me. Most of what I removed was pre-pasted wallpaper that was also glued so it was really stuck on the walls.
Every time I clean my mirrors, they end up having tons of streaks and almost look worse than before I started. What could I use to clean them that won't leave streaks...

Peel as much as possible from the walls.

Steaming is my preferred method. Any tool rental will have what you need.
