Once your wallpaper has been placed, all you have to do is enjoy it. It surely creates a very comfortable environment in the room where you have installed it. But remember that it also requires a little maintenance so that it always looks perfect. Although it is not a lot of work, you need to do it regularly so that the paper lasts longer.
Like any household item, wallpaper can also collect dust. Removing it is necessary to get it looking the right way. That is why it requires cleaning at least once a week. Everything will depend on the specific circumstances of the place in the home or building where the paper is located.
To do this, you just need to use lukewarm water and a neutral soap. You can apply it with a cloth or sponge. After that, you should dry it well to avoid excess moisture affecting the paper.
Avoid using excessively aggressive products such as degreasers or bleach. Also do not use scouring pads or any other utensil that can cause tears and tears in the wallpaper. Avoid rubbing, applying gently and in a circular manner so that it is evenly distributed.
Using a duster will only cause the dust to move so the cleaning will not be complete either. That is why it is always better to use a wet cloth if you want to achieve adequate results. In any case, it is always advisable to follow the manufacturers' instructions since in certain cases dry cleaning will be necessary depending on the wallpaper materials.
It is very useful to know how to treat stains on wallpaper
General cleaning and maintenance of wallpaper is quite simple. Another issue is when more serious stains occur on the wallpaper. In those cases, it is best to stay calm and act as soon as possible. If it dries it will be much more difficult to make it disappear.
One of the main difficulties is that you cannot use products that are too strong as they can destroy the wallpaper. If the stain has been caused by a particularly abundant substance, the first thing to do is remove the excess with kitchen paper, preventing it from spilling even more.
If this is not the case, then you can use an absorbent material to make the stain disappear. Talcum powder is one of the most effective powders that you should apply and leave on for a whole day.
Sparkling water is also another product that can also be used to clean stains in specific areas of the wallpaper. You should apply it to a cloth and rub gently to achieve the desired effects.
If your wallpaper has been the canvas on which your children have drawn their work of art, you can also find a solution. If you have used colored pencils, you can use an eraser to remove most of the damage. If it is paint, you should treat it like a grease stain. The main problem is when you use ink from markers or ballpoint pens. In those cases you will probably have to replace that part of the wallpaper.
Make sure you know the characteristics of the paper you have placed. There are some that allow more scrubbing than others and will allow you to remove the most difficult stains. The manufacturer usually offers clear instructions on how to properly care for your wallpaper.
