If you try soaking your wallpaper and find the solution isn’t getting through to the backing, it’s time for a wallpaper scorer.

The WP Chomp Wallpaper Scorer features two rotating stainless steel scoring wheels on a pivoting arm to poke holes in the wallpaper as you run it across the wall. The holes let the wallpaper remover solution reach the backing. The pivoting arm makes it easy to run the tool back and forth across the wall without worrying about holding it at a particular angle.
