Liquid wallpaper is a widely popular finishing material that can add coziness and uniqueness to an interior.
However, like any other coating, liquid wallpaper can be subject to contamination. Stains from grease, ink or food can damage the appearance of the walls.
Fortunately, there are effective methods for quickly cleaning liquid wallpaper and restoring its original appearance.
Dry cleaning: the first step to cleanliness
In most cases, dry cleaning is sufficient to remove minor dirt. Dust and small particles can be easily removed with a vacuum cleaner or soft brush.
It is important to use a vacuum cleaner attachment designed for delicate surfaces to avoid damaging the texture of the wallpaper.
Wet cleaning: fighting stains
To remove more serious dirt, wet cleaning is used. However, it is important to remember that liquid wallpaper is afraid of excess moisture.
Therefore, for wet cleaning, use a soft sponge or cloth slightly moistened with warm water. It is not recommended to rub the wallpaper hard, as this can damage its texture.
Soap solution: a universal remedy
Soap solution is a universal means for cleaning liquid wallpaper. To prepare it, you can use regular toilet soap or liquid hand soap.
A small amount of soap is dissolved in warm water and the resulting solution is used to wipe the dirty areas of the wallpaper. After cleaning, the wallpaper is wiped with a damp clean cloth to remove any soap residue.
Special means: efficiency and safety
There are special products for cleaning liquid wallpaper on sale. These products are designed taking into account the specifics of the material and ensure effective and safe removal of dirt.
Before using special products, it is important to carefully read the instructions for use.
Local repair: repairing damage
In case of serious damage to liquid wallpaper, such as scratches or holes, local repairs can be carried out.
To do this, remove the damaged section of the wallpaper, then prepare a new solution of liquid wallpaper and apply it to the cleaned surface. After drying, the patch will become almost invisible.
Prevention: the key to cleanliness and durability
Regular maintenance of liquid wallpaper is the key to its preservation and durability.
Frequent dry cleaning will prevent the accumulation of dust and small contaminants. Quick removal of stains will help to avoid their penetration into the material and will make it easier to care for the wallpaper.
