i'd start out the standard flat wall method, peel it off, then spray with warm water but instead of using a flat scraper I would use a rough scrub brush.Helpful Reply -

I agree with both above, nothing like wire brush and wetting the paper. Good luck, it should be great.Helpful Reply -

buy a scorer at home depot and score the whole wall. mix a soapy mixture of soap, fabric softener, and hot water thickest put on the whole wall. use a steamer or even an iron on steam ( you will have to keep the reservoir filled with water.) let the moisture set on the wall for a bitHelpful Reply -
