Yes it does work. I have done it many times and it comes off very easily. Make the water luke warm to hot and your job will be quite pleasingly easy. The vinegar makes the glue come off more clean a little less gummy.

Use water mixed with Cascade dishwasher soap. It has a wetting agent.

Yes, you can use a solution of water and vinegar to help dissolve wallpaper paste for easier removal. Mix equal parts water and vinegar in a spray bottle, spray it onto the wallpaper paste, and let it sit for a few minutes before scraping off the paste with a scraper or putty knife.

Hi, I have found that first you have to score it (wallpaper scoring tool - very inexpensive).
