I have had luck with vinegar and water, Dawn dish soap and water and fabric softener and water. Scraping wallpaper is a big pain, but you need to finish it. Too bad you don't have any helpers!
I did not hear about fabric softener but I knew about vinegar and Dawn. For some reason Dawn works the best too. I have tried Palmolive and it does not loosen the glue very well.
Fabric softener is something new to me too. I ended up using Dawn and hot water. It took a long time but it finally came off. I don't want to ever have to hassle with wallpaper again!
