Maintenance and cleaning methods of Chinese-style wallpaper

Chinese-style wallpaper, with its unique artistic charm and cultural connotation, adds a touch of classical elegance to the home space. However, the daily maintenance and cleaning of wallpaper is a headache for many families. This article will introduce the maintenance and cleaning methods of Chinese-style wallpaper in detail to help you easily deal with this problem.

1. Maintenance methods of Chinese-style wallpaper

Moisture-proof and mildew-proof: Chinese-style wallpapers are mostly made of paper or silk and other materials, which are prone to moisture and mildew. Therefore, during decoration, attention should be paid to the waterproof treatment of the wall to prevent moisture from penetrating into the wallpaper. In daily use, the room should be ventilated to avoid damage to the wallpaper in a humid environment. If mildew spots are found on the wallpaper, you can use a clean soft cloth dipped in a small amount of alcohol to gently wipe it. Do not rub it hard to avoid damaging the wallpaper surface.

Dust and pollution prevention: The surface of Chinese-style wallpaper is easily contaminated with dust and stains, which affects its appearance. Therefore, in daily maintenance, you should regularly use a vacuum cleaner or brush to gently clean the dust on the surface of the wallpaper. If there are stains, you can wipe them gently with a clean damp cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners to avoid corroding the wallpaper surface.

Sun protection and anti-fading: Long-term exposure to sunlight will cause Chinese-style wallpaper to fade and change color. Therefore, when choosing wallpaper, you should try to choose products with sun protection properties. In daily use, you should avoid direct sunlight on the wallpaper. You can take sunshade measures, such as installing curtains and blinds. If you find that the wallpaper is fading, you can ask a professional to repair or replace it.

Anti-scratch and anti-wear: The surface of Chinese-style wallpaper is easily scratched and worn by hard objects. Therefore, in daily use, you should avoid placing sharp objects near the wallpaper to avoid accidentally scratching the wallpaper. If you find that the wallpaper has slight scratches, you can use paint of the same color to repair it; if the scratches are serious, you need to ask a professional to repair or replace it.
