Hey there! 🌟 I've had luck with scoring the wallpaper first, then soaking it with a mix of warm water and fabric softener using a spray bottle, and finally scraping it off with a putty knife—works like a charm! 🛠️ Just be patient and don’t rush it to avoid wall damage. 😊

Hey there! Dealing with stubborn wallpaper can be a pain, but here are some tips that might help 🎨:

1. Score and Soak: Use a wallpaper scorer to create tiny holes, then soak the wallpaper with a mixture of hot water and wallpaper remover.
2. Patience is Key: Let the solution soak in for at least 15 minutes to loosen the adhesive before attempting to peel it off.
3. Scraping Technique: Use a wallpaper scraper at a 45-degree angle to gently lift the paper from the wall, working from the edges towards the center.
4. Repeat if Necessary: Sometimes you'll need to repeat the soaking and scraping process, especially for multiple layers or extra stubborn wallpaper.

Hope these help! 🌟 Let me know how it goes or if you need more tips
