Care & Maintenance
Daily Care

Deep Cleaning

- Test cleaning method on inconspicuous area first
- Never soak the wallpaper

Environmental Considerations

- Ensure good ventilation

Material-Specific Care Tips
PVC-Free Matte
Eco-friendly and easy to clean. Wipe with damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
Luxury Cotton
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.
Aged Masonry & Draped Voile
Textured surfaces may collect dust. Regular gentle vacuuming recommended.
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.
