Wallpaper removal

Anybody have any recommended product for getting wallpaper down easily? The more I clean my house, the more some of the bigger projects are seeming do-able to me and I'm starting to think about them. I'm thinking I'd like to get rid of the wallpaper in my bathroom (it's all peeling anyway - looks terrible!) but the last experience I had removing wallpaper was less-than-pleasant. There's still some dried wallpaper glue on the walls in that room 7+ years later

TIA!
Lisa

DIF and a round cutter thing took mine off.....m

No Problem!!! Some of the DIF dried before I got to that section and I just sprayed it w/ water and it "re-activated" it.

This is the 4th bathroom I've taken wallpaper out of and by far the easiest using the DIF!!

It came from Lowe's or Home Depot.

I used that when I took paper down in the kids' room

and it was a pain in the neck. I bet, though, that my problem was letting it dry! (It's 8 years ago, now, so I don't completely remember) Reactivating with water is a good tip. I think I may just tackle that bathroom one of these days...

Thanks!
Lisa
