What happens here

Fill the wallpaper steamer with hot water; no chemicals are needed for this method. Once the steamer is ready, press the steam plate firmly against a section of the remaining wallpaper for about 20-30 seconds. This allows the steam to penetrate and soften the adhesive. Immediately after steaming, use a wallpaper scraper or putty knife to carefully scrape off the softened paper and glue from the wall. Work in small sections, overlapping slightly to ensure even steaming.

Goal: Remove the remaining layers of wallpaper and adhesive.
