Hi Ann! My husband is doing our kitchen right now taking down wallpaper preparing to paint. He used some hot sudsy water with Pin-Sol and scrubbed it down after he treated the surface. Here is some information he found for this project. Good luck to you! Happy Holidays!

Water and vinegar works. Use a sponge and keep changing the water until the slimy glue feeling is gone.
I also hot water and vinegar in a spray bottle. A little elbow grease and wipe down with clear water for paint prep. Worked great.
I used warm water and 3 or 4 tablespoons of fabric softener in spray. Elbow grease is necessary and wipe down with clear water. I changed my cloth often.
