When various stains appear on wallpaper, many people think that nothing can be done about it and that they will have to re-glue it.
Is that really true?
You can effectively combat stains on wallpaper even at home, so it’s worth remembering a few tricks that are universal.
Where to start
Before you begin cleaning wallpaper, you need to do some preparation. Assessing the condition of the wallpaper and choosing the right cleaning products are important steps to ensure a successful cleaning process.
What cleaning methods exist?
The most popular methods include:
1. Dry cleaning. For this, you should use a soft brush or a lint-free cloth to remove dust from the wallpaper. It is important to go over the entire surface, especially in the corners and in places where dust accumulates.
2. To remove stubborn dirt, it makes sense to use a damp sponge or soft cloth soaked in warm water with a mild detergent. It is important not to oversaturate the wallpaper with moisture to avoid damage.
3. Local cleaning. For this, you need to use a soft toothbrush, which you should first wet with detergent. After processing, you need to wipe the wallpaper with a dry cloth.
4. A soft toothbrush dipped in water or detergent will help remove stains or dirt from the wallpaper. After cleaning, wipe the area thoroughly with a dry cloth.
5. For wet cleaning of wallpaper, use warm water with a mild detergent or specialized wallpaper cleaning products, which can be purchased at home and construction stores.
When using one of the listed methods, you should be careful. It is quite easy to damage the wallpaper, and not everyone will be able to restore its structure.
Therefore, it is worth conducting an experiment on a remote part of the wallpaper to assess the possible consequences.
