My sticky job today is removing wallpaper from a bathroom

[Horse with no Name]

I'm already tired--and I am cranky.
Any suggestions on how to make this dreadful job any LESS dreadful--or, to turn it into something that isn't going to take me the course of several hours or days to finish? Cuz I only have today and/or possibly tomorrow to strip it, texture it, paint it, sand the cabinets, paint them, install new Venetian bronze hardware and lay new tile.

1. I've heard liquid fabric softener in water will help get the paper off

2. Okay I googled this

I have been all day with very little good results. I had purchased some commercial wallpaper remover called Dif.It sucks. Don't waste your money. I went to the Dollar Store and bought some generic fabric softener refill. Poured some in a bucket with hot water--and I am almost done.
Thanks for the tip!

5. Blue gel in a bottle

I don't remember the name but I sprayed it on and it helped but in the end I had to use a scrub brush and warm water.

I have so far stripped the family room, master bedroom and one bathroom. I have two bathrooms left and the kitchen.

Under the wallpaper the previous owner had allowed her kids to draw pictures with pencil and ink so that meant more scrubbing. One picture was of a witch with the name of a teacher underneath it. Another said "I don't know why dad is so mean to mom" - we bought the house due to a divorce.

4. Somebody on HGTV compared wallpaper to tattoos

It's very individual taste and usually a bad idea years later that is expensive and difficult to undo when tastes change.

I've always loathed the stuff. I'd rather grout tile or do drywall than remove somebody else's ugly frigging wallpaper.
