Once your wallpaper is in place, all that's left is to enjoy it. I'm sure it creates a very comfortable atmosphere in the room where you've installed it. But remember that it also requires a bit of maintenance to always look perfect. Although it's not a lot of work, it's necessary to do it regularly for the wallpaper to last longer.
Like any household item, wallpaper can also accumulate dust. Removing it is necessary to ensure it looks the way it should. Therefore, 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 wallpaper 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. Do not use scouring pads or any other utensils that may cause tears and breaks in the wallpaper. Avoid rubbing, applying gently and in a circular motion to ensure even distribution.
Using a duster will only cause the dust to shift, so the cleaning won't be complete either. That's why it's always better to use a damp cloth if you want to achieve the right results. In any case, it's always advisable to follow the manufacturer's instructions, as in certain cases dry cleaning may be necessary depending on the materials of the wallpaper.
"It is very useful to know how to deal with stains on wallpaper"
The cleaning and general maintenance of the wallpaper is quite simple. Another issue arises when more serious stains occur on the wallpaper. In those cases, the best thing to do is 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 to remove the excess with paper towels, avoiding further spillage.
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 one of the products that can be used to clean stains in specific areas of the wallpaper. You should apply it to a cloth and gently rub to achieve the desired effects.
If your wallpaper has been the canvas where your children have drawn their artwork, you can also find a solution. If you have used colored pencils, you can use an eraser to remove most of the mess. If it is paint, you should treat it like a grease stain. The main problem arises when using marker or pen ink. In those cases, you will likely need to replace that part of the wallpaper.
Make sure to know the characteristics of the paper you have placed. There are some that allow for more rubbing than others and will help you remove the most difficult stains. The manufacturer usually provides clear instructions on how to properly care for your wallpaper.
