Still Battling the Wallpaper!

We are still battling the first chunk of wallpaper. We are almost finished with this pattern. Last night while at Wally World, we found some cheap solid molded plastic ice scrapers on sale for 10 cents each. I thought that they would make good wallpaper removal tools. After using them today, I think they work a lot better than the plastic putty knives that we started out with. We have also stopped using the tool to score the paper. Instead, we just rip off the top decorative portion and spray the remaining part with the hot water and fabric softener mixture. That process and concoction yields the best results. I am not sure which room we will tackle next, but I hope this technique continues to work well.
