Top tips for washable wallpaper that's even more vibrant!
Washable wallpaper is a popular choice for rooms in the home that are often exposed to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens. It's also easy to clean, making it a practical option for busy families. However, it's important to clean your washable wallpaper properly to avoid damaging its surface. In this article, we'll share some tips on how to clean your wallpaper safely.
Steps to clean your wallpaper
Prepare your cleaning kit
Before you start cleaning your washable wallpaper, make sure you have all the tools you need:
- A clean, soft cloth
- A bucket of lukewarm water
- Mild detergent
- A soft sponge
- Towel or dry cloth
Clean light stains
If you only have a few light stains on your washable wallpaper, you can remove them with a clean, soft cloth soaked in lukewarm water. Wipe the stain gently until it disappears.
Clean stubborn stains
If the stain won't come out using lukewarm water alone, you might consider adding a mild detergent to the lukewarm water. Dampen a soft sponge in this mixture and gently rub the stain until it dissipates.
Avoid using aggressive products
It is important to avoid using aggressive cleaning products, such as bleach or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the surface of your washable wallpaper.
Avoid rubbing too hard
When cleaning your washable wallpaper, avoid rubbing too hard as this can damage the surface. Use gentle, circular movements instead.
Wipe thoroughly after cleaning
After cleaning your washable wallpaper, be sure to wipe it thoroughly with a towel or dry cloth to remove excess water. By following these simple tips, you can safely and effectively clean your wallpaper and prolong its life. Remember to always test a small area before cleaning the whole wallpaper to ensure that the surface will not be damaged.
