How do I get adhesive off a wall?

Question

The people we bought this house from put borders up all over the house, but they are stuck down with a very strong adhesive. Either the paint comes off the wall or not all of the border....is there any quick way that I can remove these borders?

Answer 1

When I did it, I just really doused them with water, then used a scrapper.

I've also heard from a lot of home improvement shows that you can mix water and fabric softener to do the trick.

Answer 2

Acetone on a cloth does the trick for me (nail polish remover) also goo gone! amazing stuff

Answer 3

Try using a product called Goo Gone. It works really good at getting sticky stuff off of surfaces

Answer 4

You need a wallpaper remover solution. Go to home depot or lowes and buy it and the wallpaer scorer also.
