A critique: Unless you are removing paper in a tiny room, I would recommend using a power steamer - which you should be able to rent at your local Lowe's, Home Depot, or equivalent for somewhere around $30/day, or buy one for not very much more.

DO use the water+vinegar mixture in the power steamer. That is key. The vinegar does make it a LOT easier - but even a cheap power steamer is going to be a lot easier than boiling water in a kettle and using a plastic spray bottle.
