Material-Specific Care Tips

Natural fibers require gentle care. Use soft brush for dusting. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Sahara Linen & Kalahari Sand

Woven backing provides durability. Clean gently along the grain direction.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Bubbles or Wrinkles

Small bubbles often disappear as adhesive cures. For persistent bubbles, use a pin to release air and smooth down.

Edge Lifting

Apply additional paste to lifting edges and press firmly. Ensure adequate drying time during installation.

Color Variations

Slight color variations may occur between print runs. Order all wallpaper for a room at the same time to ensure consistency.
