Easiest way to remove really heavy wallpaper

[pinkyBear]

Hi all,
I'm starting to do a bit of painting at home... And we have this "fab" really heavy wallpaper that I want to remove.

Last night it took me it took me an hour to remove two lines of it from the wall using a steamer.

Would anyone know of a better cleaner way to remove heavy duty wallpaper.

Many thhanks,
P

Can you just pull off the outer layer, and just use the steamer on what's left?

This worked for me when I was faced with a similar problem a while back.

The outer layer doesn't come off that easliy and if I leave the steamer on to long I notice the wall cracks...
