Border, as in wallpaper border? If so, we found a really neat trick for getting wallpaper off in a half jiff when we helped a friend strip their dining room. You get one of those wallpaper perforator things (you know, to poke a gajillion holes so you can get down to the glue? If I remember right, you move it in circles and it cuts slashes in the stuff) and then you put Downy in a spray bottle and spray it on. Let it sit for a little while to penetrate, and then you can pretty easily scrape it off. A couple caveats though - one: it's slippery. Two: don't let it sit too long on bare wall or it will leave blue streaks that have to be washed off.
