>>139568 Rented a steamer a short time ago, it took all the paint off my wall, too, so I had to plaster like crazy before I could paint over it. DO NOT use a steamer.
I used the fabric softener, here's how to do it: -Buy a GOOD fabric softener, Downy was what I used. Bargain brands are not very effective... -Clear away your furniture and remove any fixtures (outlet covers, light switch covers). -Lay down some towels or old blankets at the base of your wall to absorb the inevitable mess. -Mix up a bucket with 1/2 fabric softener, 1/2 hot water. NOT tepid, NOT warm, HOT water. -Get a good scrub sponge and use it to soak the wall. The wetter you can get the wall, the better, so it may take two applications of the solution. -Get a good paint scraper and have at it. Some patches will be harder than others, but I had gigantic strips of it peeling away at some points.
