Comment posted to How to strip woodchip wallpaper by Ash.

I have woodchip wallpaper in the house I’ve purchased recently and it comes in 2 effects: Painted and non-painted. In my experience, the painted effect (where someone has taken a brush or roller to the paper) was easier to peel than the non painted version. The painted version comes on in large chunks with a proper wall paper stripper (I’m using the 4″ version) as it’s held together with the paint. However the non-painted version is more difficult and comes off in tiny pieces. I’ve tried steaming the non-painted version but you have to wait there for ages. I’ve heard that washing up liquid should help so I’ll give that a go tonight.
