Removing wallpaper in a cinch. Just use hot water. After reading a plethora of ways to remove wallpaper and implementing them, in the end, hot water was the best method. Skip all the those other methods and trust me – hot water! Just keep the water in your spray bottle hot, wait a few minutes for it soak into your border and simply scrap it off using a spackle knife. I found using any kind of blade cut into the drywall.
