Household hint!

I knew one day my excessive TV watching would come in handy! A year or so ago I was watching some home decorating show and they mentioned that you could remove wallpaper by wiping it with a solution of fabric softener and water...instead of a chemical. I have a border in the downstairs bathroom I need to remove (it's ugly and I want to paint the room) but didn't have any fabric softener. I have tons of dryer sheets though so I thought I'd give that a whirl. And IT WORKS!!! I just got the sheet wet (used ones work just as well!) and rubbed it over the stuck on backing and then it just peeled off super easy. Any extra remnants I just used the sheet to scrub off. Fascinating, I know!!!
