Home Improvement - WASHABLE - WALLPAPER-CLEANING-WASHABLE PAPERS

Wallpaper Cleaning - Washable Papers:
"Washable" papers are usually paper with a plastic
coating. Clean with a damp cloth or sponge; use water
sparingly and do not get them wet.

1. Make a sudsy solution of a mild white detergent (hand
dishwashing liquid) in cool water in one bucket, and cool
rinse water in a second bucket.

2. First clean the ceiling, whether papered or painted.

3. Then clean the walls from the bottom up, very gently
wiping overlapping areas in circular motion, first with a
damp sudsy sponge, then with a damp rinsing sponge.

4. Pat gently with a clean soft cloth or bath towel to
remove any surface moisture.

5. If any area has to be rewashed to remove soil, let it
dry completely before washing again.

Some foam cleaners may be used if directions on
label say it can be so used:
1. Spray a four-foot square area, holding about 8
inches from surface.

2. Wipe off foam and soil with a clean damp sponge.
Wipe area with rinsing sponge, and gently pat dry with
clean towel.
