[Flubflow]

When you hire a steam stripper, make sure you get one of those spikey roller thingummyjig tools with it. You use it to make little holes in the surface of the paper. This is because some wallpapers have a surface that is not very good for letting the steam get underneath (especially if the wallpaper has been painted over - like woodchip for example). You could score the surface with a knife instead but if you do that then you end up pulling the paper off in lots of small pieces.
