 How to Use Downy to Remove Wallpaper Easily

When applied to wallpaper, fabric softener softens both the paper and the glue used to hold it on the wall. This makes the wallpaper come off much more easily than it normally would and can save you time when redecorating. To remove unwanted wallpaper, soak it in a mixture of water and fabric softener for 20 minutes and then scrape it away with a wide-bladed paint scraper. You may have to soak and scrape each area several times to remove every bit of the old paper and the glue. If you don't get all of the old glue off, it will show when you repaint or repaper the wall, marring your new home decor.
