    I found this online: In a bucket, combine hot water, liquid dish soap, and a heaping tablespoon of baking soda. For particularly stubborn adhesive, add one cup of vinegar for every gallon of water used. Next, soak a sponge in the solution, squeeze out the excess liquid, and gently rub the sponge over a small section of wallpaper glue.

    Hi! Soften it with your wall paper steamer and scrape it right off.

    I use a 50/50 mix of vinegar and hot water. Wash the walls down. Vinegar cuts the adhesive. Hot water softens it.

    Fabric softener with a little water in a spray bottle has always worked for me. Also great for taking wallpaper off
