I've been trying to remove the (old) paste from a room without much success - one thing is that it is taking me absolutely ages, second that I'm not sure if even after all that scrubbing and scraping I've removed enough. These walls were papered in several layers and painted, and removing these was relatively easy, (compared to the glue situation!) but I'm left with a residue that is very diffifult to shift. I want to paint the walls afterwards and am reluctant to use linign paper as I've now invested a small portion of my life in these walls !
I've been using sugar soap, scrapers and scrubbing sponges, (and have just read about vinegar and washing up liquid as possible alternatives, which I'll try tomorrow) but would like to know if there are any products or tools available and if it should really take so long... Also whether I need to remove it all to allow the paint to work. Any advice would be useful.
