1. Choose the Right Wallpaper for Easy Care

Picking the right wallpaper is important for easy maintenance. Think about how the room is used, if it gets wet, and how many people walk through it when choosing. For busy areas or rooms that might get damp, like kitchens and bathrooms, vinyl wallpapers are a good choice. They're tough and easy to clean.

Our Asperia Plain Orange Wallpaper and Tye Dye Stripe Red and Cream Wallpaper are great for these spaces. They can handle being cleaned often and don't get damaged by moisture easily.

2. Regular Dusting Keeps Wallpaper Fresh

Dusting your wallpaper often helps keep it clean and looking nice. Here's how to do it:

• Use a soft cloth or vacuum with a soft brush
• Wipe or vacuum from top to bottom
• Pay extra attention to corners and areas near air vents
• For delicate wallpapers, use a feather duster or soft paintbrush

Be extra careful with textured wallpapers to avoid damaging the patterns:

3. Quick Action on Stains Saves Wallpaper

If something spills on your wallpaper, clean it up fast to avoid permanent stains. Here's what to do:

1. Gently blot the stain with a damp cloth
2. If needed, use a little mild soap with warm water
3. Don't rub hard - it can spread the stain or damage the wallpaper
4. Rinse with clean water and pat dry
5. For tough stains, check the wallpaper instructions or ask a professional

4. Keep Wallpaper Safe from Water

Too much water can make wallpaper peel or grow mold. Here's how to protect it:

• Use fans in bathrooms and kitchens to reduce moisture
• Wipe up water spills right away
• Use a clear, water-resistant coating in damp areas
• Keep your home well-ventilated
• Use dehumidifiers in naturally damp rooms

For rooms that might get wet, try water-resistant wallpapers like our Concrete Texture Cream Wallpaper:

5. Protect Wallpaper from Too Much Sun

Sunlight can make wallpaper fade or change colour. Here's how to protect it:

• Use curtains or blinds to filter sunlight
• Move furniture around sometimes to even out sun exposure
• Choose fade-resistant wallpapers for sunny rooms
• Consider using a clear UV-resistant coating
• Adjust window coverings throughout the day

Our Lush Forest Green Wallpaper is good for bright rooms because it resists fading:

6. Fix Small Problems Quickly

Taking care of small issues fast can stop them from becoming big problems. Here's what to do:

• Use wallpaper glue to fix loose edges
• For bubbles, carefully put a little glue under and smooth it out
• Fix small tears with a matching piece of wallpaper
• Keep a repair kit with glue, a roller, and extra wallpaper
• For big damages, ask a professional for help

It's important to keep extra wallpaper for repairs, especially for patterned designs like our Damask Wallpaper collection:

7. Keep Rooms at the Right Temperature and Humidity

Keeping your rooms not too hot, cold, or damp helps your wallpaper last longer. Here's how:

• Use a dehumidifier in damp areas to keep humidity between 40-60%
• Keep the temperature steady
• Open windows sometimes to let fresh air in
• Use a tool to check humidity and adjust as needed
• Consider a smart thermostat to control temperature and humidity

For rooms that change a lot, try tough wallpapers like our Linear Concrete Brown Wallpaper:

8. Protect Corners and Edges

Corners and edges can get damaged easily. Here's how to protect them:

• Put clear corner guards in busy areas
• Use furniture pads to prevent scratches
• Consider adding wood panels or chair rails for protection
• Put rugs in high-traffic areas
• Teach everyone to be careful around walls

Our Wood Slat Dark Oak Wallpaper is good for areas that need extra toughness:

9. Check Your Wallpaper Often

Looking at your wallpaper regularly helps you spot problems early. Here's what to do:

• Check for loose edges or bubbles once a month
• Look for water damage or mold, especially in bathrooms and kitchens
• Pay attention to areas around windows and doors
• Check for fading, especially in sunny spots
• Look at seams and corners for any damage

Light-coloured wallpapers like our Wood Slat Cream Wallpaper make it easier to see problems:

10. Use the Right Cleaning Products

Using the right cleaning stuff keeps your wallpaper looking good. Here's what to do:

• Don't use strong chemicals or rough cleaners
• Use mild soap and warm water for most wallpapers
• Always test cleaners on a small hidden spot first
• For tough stains, check the wallpaper instructions or ask for help
• Try special wallpaper cleaners made for your type of wallpaper

For delicate wallpapers like our Grandeco Wallpaper collection, use very gentle cleaning methods:

11. Store Extra Wallpaper Properly

Keeping leftover wallpaper safe is important for future fixes. Here's how:

• Store rolls in a cool, dry place away from sunlight
• Keep rolls flat to prevent curling
• Label each roll with room name and date
• Wrap rolls in special paper to protect from dust
• Use airtight containers for long-term storage

This is really important for patterned wallpapers like our Marble Patterned Wallpapers collection:
