**Steam it Up**: Use a steamer! Just hold it against the wallpaper for a bit, and it’ll loosen the adhesive, making it easier to peel off.

**Soapy Water**: Mix some warm water with dish soap and sponge it on the wallpaper. Let it soak for a few minutes before trying to peel it off.

**Vinegar Solution**: Combine equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray it on the wallpaper, let it sit, and then scrape it off gently.

**Score and Soak**: Use a wallpaper scraper to lightly score the surface before applying your water or vinegar solution. This helps the liquid penetrate better.

**Plastic Scraper**: Invest in a plastic scraper instead of a metal one. It’s less likely to gouge your walls while you’re trying to remove the wallpaper.

**Heat Gun**: If you have a heat gun, you can use it to warm up the wallpaper. Just be careful not to overheat and damage the wall underneath.

**Peel and Stick**: If the wallpaper is coming off in sections, start at a corner and gently pull it back. Sometimes it’ll come off in big strips without much effort!
