Home Improvement - FABRICS - CLEANING FABRIC WALLCOVERS

Cleaning Fabric Wallcoverings
Some are vinyl-coated and easy to wash. Others, like
burlap or grass cloth, are very hard to clean when
stained. You might try wiping lightly with a sponge
dampened in suds and water; test first in an
inconspicuous spot to be sure the water won't stain the
covering. Best method is to follow directions provided by
the manufacturer of that covering, or ask a dealer for a
cleaner recommended for that wallcovering.

Cleaning Fabric Wallcoverings

Dust occasionally with a clean cloth or vacuum to
remove loose dirt. Wash spots and stains with a sponge or
soft bristle brush soaked in a mild detergent or soap
solution. Rinse well. If you really have a trouble spot,
add two or three tablespoons of bleach. Use the
nonchlorine type for delicate fabrics. Rinse with plenty
of clear water and dry with an absorbent towel to prevent
streaking.
