Wallpaper and Wallcoverings - removing wallpaper from plaster walls

I would like to remove the wallpaper from the plaster walls in my home. It is 94 years old (the house -- not the wallpaper). I was wondering if there is a safer or different procedure for removing wallpaper from plaster walls as opposed to drywall. Ideally, I would like to then paint the walls after I have removed the wallpaper.

www.wallpaperinstaller.com/wallpaper_stripping.html should answer all your wallpaper stripping questions. Safer/easier is actually built into the fact that you have plaster walls. Plaster is hardier than drywall and is more condusive to stripping than drywall. If you do paint, ensure you remove as much of the old adhesive as possible before painting. Best of luck :)

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN MY 100 YR OLD HOME.
I'VE USED WARM VINEGAR WATER
AND ALSO FABRIC SOFTNER IN WARM WATER.
HOPE YOU HAVE A LOT OF PATIENCE. I STARTED TEARING OFF THE PAPER IN MY BEDROOM,OH, AROUND 4 MAYBE 5 YEARS AGO.
I THINK THERE ARE 7 LAYERS OF PAPER AND ONE OF THE MIDDLE LAYERS OF PAPER WAS PAINTED. I USE A SCORER TO CREATE HOLES IN THE PAPER THEN A LOT OF VINEGAR WATER SOLUTION, AND LOTS AND LOTS OF TIME WAITING FOR IT TO SOAK IN. VERY MESSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HAVE NEVER TRIED A STEAMER.(I'VE HEARD THEY ARE MESSY TOO) MY BEDROOM IS THE LAST OF SEVEN ROOM I HAVE REMOVED PAPER FROM.
BE WORNED THAT UNDER ALL THAT PAPER MAY LIE SOME PRETTY WAVEY PLASTER. THAT IS WHAT WAS UNDER MINE. SOME OF THEM I TOOK DRYWALL MUD AND SMOOTHED OUT THE WAVES, IN MY DINING ROOM I DID SOME SPONGE PAINTING THAT REALY LOOKS LIKE WALLPAPER AND IT HIDES ALOT OF THE WALL IMPERFECTIONS.
SORRY TO BE SO LONG WINDED, BUT I'VE BEEN IN YOUR SHOES.
HOPE THIS WILL HELP.
