| I'm removing some wallpaper from the 90's and need some techniques. I have a $50 wallpaper remover and some leftover diff. The last time I done this it seemed I had more problems with the wallpaper backing and glue than the vinyl itself. Now I searched on here and found that chomp or safe and simple is a better remover solution. If you were to buy on which would it be? I can get chomp shipped to my local store and save on shipping. I also read to prime with Gardz. Thanks! |

| We had a house (1985 build) full of wallpaper and we tried Diff and a few other commercial removers. When we had enough of the DIY effort and hired someone to finish the house, he used a mixture of water and fabric softener. (inexpensive fabric softener and warm water in a spray bottle) Wallpaper peeled right off the walls! Worth a try if you have any fabric softener in the house. |

| Wallpaper came right off with the Diff over here. |
