    I found that taking and filling a pail 3/4 full of warm soapy water works really well. Apply water to the left over glue, let stand for 2-3 minutes then rub excess away.

    Source(s): Done it several times, every time that I relocated to a new place.

    was it border on sheetrock or other wallpaper?

    If on sheetrock water water and soft cloth.

    Are you repainting, then what little that is left shouldnt be a problem.

    If on existing wallpaper it is the same, warm water and wipe off immediately.

    You could also reinstall a border over the previous.

    hot water mixed with white vinegar. I have removed and installed wall paper for years and this is the best remedy

    Can't be done without terrible results. Remove the paper too.

    Blow dryer (or better yet, a hot air gun, but be CAREFUL!) and a paint scraper.
