3.4 Cleaning and Complete Guide to Daily Wallfabric Maintenance
- Wallfabrics are both attractive and durable, but they still require proper care in daily use. Regularly inspect your wall surfaces, especially during humid seasons. Address any unusual conditions promptly to prevent minor issues from becoming major repairs. When in doubt, contact the wallfabric brand or installer for professional assistance. Below are cleaning and maintenance recommendations for common situations.
- Removal of Surface dust: Gently sweep with a feather duster. Stubborn dust: Wipe with a dry towel, especially focusing on detailed textures or embroidery. It’s recommended to clean every six months, especially for embossed or embroidered wallfabrics.
3.4.1 Water Stains and Humidity
- Small splashes or moisture from rainy days: Simply wipe dry with a clean towel.
- Large areas of dampness or leakage: Use a blow dryer on low heat or turn on the air conditioner’s dehumidifying function to speed up drying. Keep the room well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup and mold growth.
3.4.2 General Stain Removal
- Use a mild household water based cleaner and gently wipe with a towel.After cleaning, wipe with a slightly damp towel to remove any residue and dry thoroughly to avoid marks.
3.4.3 Oil Stain Cleaning
- Use a soft-bristle toothbrush with a cleaner to gently scrub the stained area, then wipe clean with a damp towel. For larger areas, repeat the process and finish with a cool blow-dry. Note: Clean oil stains promptly. The longer they remain, the harder they are to remove.
3.4.4 Pen Marks and Scribbles
- Spray a wall fabric cleaner onto the stained area. Use a towel dampened with cold water, wring it out, and wipe the area twice. Then dry with a blow dryer. If you have young children at home, consider setting up a designated “doodle wall” to avoid damage to your wallfabrics.
3.4.5 Mold Prevention and Treatment
- Wallfabrics have mold-resistant properties, but damp environments or poor wall preparation may still lead to mold. Key steps for prevention include: Ensuring the wall is free from alkalization, powdering, or pre-existing mold. Applying a quality base membrane and ensuring the wall is fully dry before installation.
