- "Washable"
wallpaper can be washed infrequently with warm water, soap, and a soft
sponge.
- "Scrubbable"
wallpaper can be washed frequently with warm water, soap, and a soft
sponge.
- "Paintable"
wallcovering, if painted, should be cleaned according to the paint manufacturer's
instructions.
- Do not
use abrasive cleansers or scrubbers, products containing bleach, or
solvents of any kind.
- For best
results, wash from the bottom of the strip up to avoid letting dirty
water running down the face of the wallpaper.
- Rinse
thoroughly with clean warm water.
- Dry with
a soft lint-free cloth.
- If mildew is present, existing
wallpaper will have to be removed. Wash the bare walls with a detergent containing mildewcide or
a mixture of ½ cup household bleach to one gallon of water. Wear
goggles and protective gloves. CAUTION: Do not mix bleach or any other
cleaning product with other cleaners or chemicals. Scrub with a medium
brush until the mildew discoloration is gone. Thoroughly rinse the walls
with a clean water after washing to be sure the chemicals have been
removed. Before reapplying wallpaper, apply a stain-killing primer followed
by a wallcovering primer.
