Someone give me some guidance here please.

Would like to decorate my lounge before Christmas, trouble I had when i did my Hall was there was a border stuck on about 4" wide and I used my steamer on it but was still left with a glue type residue on the walls which was a pain in the backside to get off.

I have the same problem in my lounge, not started yet, just wondered if there was a easier way of getting it off as prepping the room is the main thing before painting.

How do you do it ? Some knowledge would be usefull, its a new house if that makes any difference.
 
Right, used a steamer and got the wall paper off. (Hair dryer did nothing)

Still left with a Glue residue though on the walls.

Any ideas ?
Trying Sugar Soap at the moment
