How To Clean Vinyl Wallpapers

Scrubbable wall coverings and impregnated wallpapers are tougher than either conventional or washable wallpapers. But they are still subject to scratching. Use a cleaner formulated especially for cleaning such materials, or wipe with a sponge and a very mild cleaner. Do not use an abrasive cleanser, scouring pad or brush. Use silver polish applied with a clean cloth to remove crayon marks from a vinyl wall covering.Concentrated dishwashing detergent works well too. Remember to rinse well afterward.

How To Clean Fabric Wall Coverings

Avoid soap and water in cleaning fabric wall coverings – including grass cloth and other porous surfaces. They can leave permanent stains on your material and damage the textured surface. As a rule you should clean fabric wall coverings with a hand-held vacuum only. Delicate fabrics such as fabric-backed woven silk wall coverings and grass cloth, need professional attention if they are soiled.
