One. What to do if plain wallpaper becomes moldy?
Plain wallpaper tends to develop mold in rainy and humid conditions, primarily due to excessive moisture in the wall.
For wallpaper with mild mold issues, the following solutions are recommended:1. Dampen a white towel with clean water or soapy water and gently wipe the affected areas.2. Alternatively, purchase a specialized mold remover from a wallpaper store.However, pure paper wallpaper is not water-resistant and should not be scrubbed. When removing mold, pay close attention to the moisture level of the towel and the pressure applied during wiping.
If the wallpaper made of pure paper is severely moldy, it is best to remove and re-apply it.
Two. Cleaning methods for pure paper wallpaper
When cleaning wallpaper, use a sponge or a clean, damp, colorless cloth to gently wipe the surface. Ensure that the sponge or cloth is not excessively wet and avoid applying excessive pressure, as this could damage the wallpaper surface.
If dust accumulates on plain wallpaper, it is recommended to gently wipe it off with a feather duster or vacuum it every few days.
If the stained area is large, we recommend replacing the wallpaper. However, for those with confidence in their skills, covering the stains with paint is also a viable option.
Note: Paper-based wallpaper is made from pure natural paper pulp fibers, which have a high expansion rate. Exercise caution when cleaning.
