  1. was it border on sheetrock or other wallpaper?

    If on sheetrock water water and soft cloth.

    Are you repainting, then what little that is left shouldnt be a problem.

    If on existing wallpaper it is the same, warm water and wipe off immediately.

    You could also reinstall a border over the previous.


  2. try some goo gone or buy a wallpaper stripper/ remover from home depot or lowes.

  3. I found that taking and filling a pail 3/4 full of warm soapy water works really well. Apply water to the left over glue, let stand for 2-3 minutes then rub excess away.

  4. Sandpaper and elbow grease.

  5. hot water mixed with white vinegar. I have removed and installed wall paper for years and this is the best remedy

  6. Blow dryer (or better yet, a hot air gun, but be CAREFUL!) and a paint scraper.
