    If you don't want to keep it and it's paint underneath you can score it then drench in warm water, should just scrape off. No need for steaming.
    This is what I did when taking a border off my daughters room. I just put warm water in a spray bottle and sprayed away. It all came off really easily.

    Thanks ladies. I'm not planning on keeping it, so I'm happy to ruin it as I take it off. It's paint underneath, so if I can remove it without damaging the paint that will be great, but I had been thinking about repainting anyway, so if I damage the paint I'll say it was fate that I was meant to repaint Lol. DD1 is sleeping in there are the moment, so I might try again this afternoon and see how I go

    I used a hair dryer on mine - got it off no probs and it left the paint intact too.

    kidsline ones are wallpaper not removable/reusable ones.....we have one in our boys room. you have to peel off the top vinyl layer then soak the uinderneath paper bit in warm soapy water using a sponge or similar...... when it is fully wet you can scrape it off with a paint scraper...be careful with the scraper not to dig into the plaster and it should come off nice and cleanly...then just wipe the wall down and voila!!
