How to maintain the wallpaper in best state?
Wallpapers have surely made some amazing comeback in recent years. People who wish to change the look of their home are now opting for wallpapers. The common people who used to think wallpapers are expensive are also coming to buy wallpapers.
But still there are people who cite their susceptibility to wear and tear and avoid buying wallpapers.
In this blog we will tell you some useful tips to maintain your wallpapers well, so that they can look fresh and new for a longer time. These care tips will increase the life of your wallpapers as well as give your home a fresh appeal at all times.
One thing you must keep in mind, every canvas is different and so the care guide may also vary. So, make sure that you refer to the wallpaper care manual before proceeding with the following tips.
Wash the washable wallpapers
Before you proceed with this step, make sure that your wallpapers are washable. If you can’t find any information on the canvas printing service page, you can do a test. Take a sponge dipped in water. Rub the sponge in a small area in any corner of the wallpaper. Observe for five minutes to see if there is any visible damage to the texture/appearance. If there isn’t any, you can proceed to try the same with a soap solution to see if there is any damage.
Proceed to wash the entire wallpaper to bring back the original shine. You can also use special washing liquid available for wallpaper cleaning to further quicken the process.
Do not use abrasive scrubbers
You might think that your wallpaper is washable and hence use abrasive scrubbers to remove stains. However, using such scrubbers on canvas wallpaper for walls scrubs off the protective outer layer of the wallpaper. It exposes the paint and the scrubbed area becomes dull and very much noticeable. Hence, always resort to using a soft sponge or a fabric.
Remove the dust and cobwebs regularly
This is the first step in ensuring the longevity of a canvas wallpaper for walls. Dust and other such elements make your wallpaper dull and lifeless. When doing your daily sweeping, use the broom to brush off any cobwebs and dust on the wallpaper. Only use minimal pressure and avoid using harsh brooms.
Another simple way of doing it is using a vacuum cleaner. You can suck in any dust sticking atop the wallpaper easily. Regularly cleaning the wallpapers prevent the dust from getting permanently engraved on the surface.
Prevent spills as much as possible
Spills are unavoidable in homes with children. So, we can’t help you there. But, a good tip is to go for a water-resistant canvas wallpaper for walls. Just make sure that you are careful around the walls. Plus, wash immediately after any accidental spills to prevent stains.
