Me personally, no. My father used to have a painting/wallpapering business many years ago. I do plan on seeking his advice when I take down the wallpaper in this house though. Some of it is coming off on its own already. I'm thinking I'm going to give the walls a very light sanding to make sure I get all the glue off. But I will be bugging him for sure on that project.

I'm wondering if anyone else has the same trouble with Dawn soap as I have. It takes the skin off my fingers, layer by layer. I know it's useful for alot of little things, but I can't use it. (Even with gloves...psychological, I know, but there it is...

Wonder what it is with Dawn that other soaps like Palmolive or Ivory don't have?
