I had a friend removing some today from their 80+ ear old home and found another layer under what they were removing.
What was your method of removal?

We had our house professionally painted and they removed it for us...they were pretty frustrated because they found five layers!

Oh my gosh, yes! It was horrible. My parents had this straw/burlap wall paper. It was our cat's giant scratching post. lol I couldn't stand it so I spent one spring break in high school removing it. I think I sprayed some stuff on it and then scraped it off.

My method was paying painters to come in and do it for us bc our house had wallpaper EVERYWHERE when we bought it, and it would have been too overwhelming of a job! On top of that, it's hard to avoid wall damage sometimes, sonI'm glad we called the pros!

We bought an electric steam wallpaper stripper. It's a machine -like a giant kettle I guess - that you fill with water and it boils it all up. It has a giant hose part so you can apply the steam directly to the wallpaper and then it scrapes off really easily.
We live in a 1930s house - and found lots of different layers underneath. There was a wood paneling effect wallpaper from probably the early 1990s, then under that there was another paper - and then underneath that one there was a 1960s green wallpaper under there.... it was amazing, like a history lesson. Underneath the last layer, the previous owner/decorator had written their name and the date - November 1962!

We just used hot hot water in a spray bottle.
