Paper wallpapers have become popular with many people due to their functionality and low cost.
However, if stains appear on paper wallpaper, this is where the first questions begin to arise.
It seems that it is impossible to get rid of dirt on such wallpaper, but here everything is not so simple. Therefore, it is worth considering several tips that will help clean paper wallpaper at home, says Yulia Tychino .
Preparation and testing
Before you begin cleaning, it is recommended that you test a small area of the wallpaper to ensure that the chosen method will not cause damage.
When cleaning, avoid using too much force and pressing too hard to avoid damaging the paper or erasing the pattern.
Vacuum cleaner with nozzle
Using a vacuum cleaner with a wallpaper attachment is one of the safest and most effective ways to clean paper wallpaper from dust and cobwebs. The attachment will help to gently remove dirt without damaging the surface of the wallpaper. Of course, if we consider serious dirt, the attachment will not help at all.
Soft sponge and clean water
A damp soft sponge and clean water can be used to remove light stains from paper wallpaper.
It is important to ensure that the sponge is well wrung out to avoid moisture penetration into the depths of the paper. When using this method, it is worth remembering about rationality. Excessive moisture can lead to the fact that the wallpaper will be exposed.
How to remove stains
To remove stubborn stains such as grease or paint marks, you can use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and a mild detergent.
However, please test on a small area before use to avoid colour loss or damage to the wallpaper.
Eraser sponge
An eraser sponge can be an effective way to remove stains from paper wallpaper, especially if they are caused by pencil or chalk. Simply take the sponge and gently rub it over the entire surface of the wallpaper.
