6 Tips to Extend the Life of Your Wallpaper

Extending Wallpaper Life

Quality wallpaper can last 10–15 years with correct care. However, wrong cleaning and neglect significantly shorten this period.

1. The Correct Cleaning Method

Vinyl papers can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. Abrasive or solvent products must never be used. For paper-based products, only dry cleaning should be done.

2. Fix Edge Problems Early

When lifting corners or seams are noticed, they should be fixed immediately with adhesive and not delayed. A long wait leads to staining and a poor appearance.

3. Moisture Control

The humidity of the space should be kept between 55% and 65%. Excess moisture causes the paper to bubble, while overly dry air causes it to shrink and lift.

4. Protection from Sun

Papers constantly exposed to direct sun fade quickly. Applying a UV-filter window film reduces this risk.

5. Vacuum or Dust Cloth

Removing dust a few times a year with a vacuum brush attachment keeps the paper's colour vivid.

6. Adhesive Renewal

Corners should be checked and reinforced once a year with professional adhesive-injection pens.
