I've heard that if you put liquid fabric softener on the wall, first scratch up the wallpaper so it can get behind it, then wait about an hour, and it should peal off easily. I've never tried it myself, but I read it in one of those household helper books. Good luck!

i always use the warm water and fabric softener with a spray bottle, but i use a tool called paper tiger, you can find it in walmart or home depot, it scores the wallpaper first, so the liquid really gets into and under the paper, then saturate it, let it sit for about 15 minutes, peels right off for the most part, and smells great, doesnt hurt your skin or animals..good luck

There is really no quick "easy" miracle product out there. Best thing to do is mix fabric softner and hot water in a bucket, use a sponge saturate the wall, wait 5-10 minutes, using a scrapper, scrap away. should come off quit easy. Good Luck!

There really is no "awesome" way to get them off, trust me I've tried. But there are certain wallpaper removal things at Home Depot. All I did was wet down my wall paper to make it soggy, and then used these huge putty knives to try and scrape it off. Good luck!!

Good advice so far. I found that if I used a scraper and 'scored' the wall before spraying, doing a 3ft square area at a time, it allowed the wetness to penetrate better. Just don't score too hard and damage the underlying wall board.

go to your nearest home improvment store and ask for DIF, is should be in or near the paing or wallcoverings area. it comes in liquid and gel in a windex like bottle. be sure to get the scraper and roll on applicator. i have heard nothing but good things.
