Whats the best way to remove wallpaper from plaster walls?

I just did this to a bathroom, in bits and pieces, over the span of several months. I would budget more time than a weekend. Whatever you spray on — Dif worked here — needs time to penetrate, and your arms will only be able to scrape so much without falling off… It is messy. Mine did not stick to the floor like Green Eyed’s, though. Be prepared for cracked walls underneath, and baseboards and windows that’re no longer where they should be relative to the wall when you’ve taken off all the layers. If you find yourself nicking the walls (plaster?), use a plastic scraper instead of a metal one.

Buy a wallpaper steamer. It does the best job IMO. We’ve been renovating an old house for years now and use steam to remove wallpaper, paint, glue, anything. Much better than nasty chemicals, but keep everything well ventilated and obviously allow everything to dry before painting over it etc.
