Does anyone have tips for removing wall paper borders? The border has been up for 5 years.
Thanks

If it's on a painted wall just soak the border and scrape it , or use a steamer .

If it's one that you pasted or used border adhesive to stick it to the wall, then you should be ok to soak it with water & carefully strip it off the wall. If it's one that is self adhesive (like sticky-back plastic), you've got problems.

Thanks, the soak and scrape method seems to be working.
