Hi, I have removed wallpaper from some walls which I am going to paint. There is quite a lot of wallpaper paste and other gunk still on the walls. What is the quickest and easiest way to remove it?
Thanks!
John

I used a flat metal blade - it was actually a herb-chopper, but anything like that would scrape it off once you've got it damp - perhaps steam it first.
This kind of thing...

John Nagelson was thinking very hard :
Lots of warm buckets of water, changed often and just wipe it over and over with a wet cloth. A moist atmosphere in the room helps - perhaps a boiling kettle or a steamer.
Another job for the heavy duty scraper. Clean as a whistle
