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. All of this is at Home Depot. Then peel off the paper. You can also rent a steamer from Home Depot but the expense and mess of that may not be needed if the scoring tool and solution work first. Good luck! Removing wallpaper is not one of my favorite things. lol.

There's no easy way. It all depends on what kind of glue was used, what type of paper it is and whether it was DIY or professionally installed.
I always start by spraying it with warm water and using a plastic scraper to remove what I can. It might take a while, but it usually does the job with the least amount of damage.
Be sure to wash the walls when you're done. Use a sponge and keep cleaning until the wall doesn't feel slimy anymore.
use a solution of liquid fabric softener, spray on walls wait a couple minutes then with a scraper and a blow dryer it should come right off. when I removed ours it took a few times because we found out there was 8 layers of wallpaper. but it worked.
Use a Steamer!
Use a scoring tool to create holes in the wallpaper. Use a spray bottle to soak the paper. Spray water into the slits so it can work its way behind the covering. Wait about 10 minutes and then scrape off the paper with a putty knife.
Spray the walls with fabric softener and use a paper tiger tool. Let it sit about 10 miniutes, the paper will come right off and the room will smell amazing

Get a scoring tool from the diy store, and a spray bottle too. Spray the wallpaper with liquid fabric softener and let it do it's work for about 15 min, Then scrape off with a plastic scraper.
