If your family has children or pets, then the risk of stains on the wallpaper increases many times. But the wallpaper - not clothes, they can not be washed. In this article we will look at how you can deal with this problem at home.

Putting a stain on the wallpaper is not so difficult. But to bring him, of course, problematic. Moreover, various types of pollution require special approaches and tools. A small child sharpens his creative skills on the wallpaper, leaving traces of watercolor paints and gouaches, crayons and pencils, markers and markers.

Paste from a ballpoint pen that accidentally got into children's hands can also become a headache. In the hallway, in the presence of children's transport, street dirt on the walls is guaranteed, traces of shoes can also remain.

Another type of surface contaminant is wallpaper glue residue. They may be immediately invisible, but over time will collect dust or zalosnitsya in the light.

Fingerprints are clearly visible on bright wallpaper. Various impurities can be transmitted with hands - from food to sebum and other components.

Not so long ago, we could not even think that the pasted-in wall can be washed with a sponge or even a brush with a soap solution. And in the case of the appearance of stains, it is very convenient.

Washable coverings have a labeling system with symbols that manufacturers indicate on labels:

• one wave. This is a water resistant wallpaper category. They can be wiped with a damp cloth without the use of any means.
• two waves. This wallpaper can be washed using a sponge and mild soap solutions.

• three waves.Such coatings withstand prolonged exposure to water.
• one wave, strip and scallop. This type of cloth can withstand wet cleaning with a brush and a washing vacuum cleaner.

Basically, the markings are affixed in the case of vinyl wallpaper. These coatings are gaining popularity around the world due to their multi-layer structure and various surface treatments. They are produced with imitation under the skin, concrete, wood, plaster, with flowers and monograms, leaves and stripes.

Non-woven wallpaper mainly taken for painting. And here you need to look at the type of coating, which they painted. Water paint can not be washed. If water enters, they will be erased. The same goes for glass fiber.

All means that can be used without professionals and at home can be divided into three groups:

• household chemicals.These are all the solutions and mixtures that you buy in the house for the purpose of cleaning various surfaces and washing clothes. To remove stains from the wallpaper may require soap, shaving foam, dishwashing detergent, bleach. This group also includes beauty chemicals - hair spray and toothpaste. Modern stain removers such as Vanish, Domestos or Amway are widely commercially available and remove a variety of types of stains.

• kitchen tools. What we use in the preparation of food can also cope with the function of the stain remover. Oxalic acid, acetic acid and citric acid, salt, chicken eggs and even bread cope with some types of pollution. Lemon juice can also help in removing blemishes.
