How To Maintain and Care for Your Wallcoverings

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean (Hawkes Bay Chem-Dry)

So, you’ve finally chosen that fabulous wallpaper to showcase your interior style but how do you best look after it to keep it looking fresh and clean?

Many a foreign object can flick onto the surface of the wallpapers in your home, ranging from food to crayon to fly spray, and like any textile, wallpapers need a little bit of love every now and then.

2. Washable
