    I just removed my wallpaper in the blink of an eye. I sprayed "Scrubbing Bubbles" bathroom cleaner on it, it did not drip and soaked into the paper. The first layer came off almost immediately and I sprayed again the brown layer underneath and then it came off almost immediately. Easy peasy!!!!

    OK after watching about 10 different videos on removing wallpaper yours was the most fun. I do think however that scoring the wallpaper to get the solution To soak in is really a must. I tried pulling my wallpaper off dry and it came off in little tiny pieces. Thank you for having sense of humor and an entertaining video.

    Thank you Alex, I had never tried to remove wallpaper before and I watched a few videos here and your tip with the fabric softener was brilliant. I live in Las Vegas and the softener really helped keep things wet. Took a 8 hour job and turned it into a 3. And yes it did smell good and the home owner gave me a $120 tip because he was so happy with the job. I guess I owe you lunch the next time you're in Vegas 😘

    Same Idea just a slightly different technique. I use a 1-gallon garden sprayer filled with hot water and a squirt of liquid dish soap. The soap breaks the surface tension of the water allowing it to soak in faster. Using a hand sprayer like you did and my hand began to cramp up after about 5 minutes of spraying.. Guess Im just a weakling!
