How to clean yellowed wallpaper?

One consistency in home decorating themes is wallpaper patterns. Every form of wallpaper gathers dirt, flying oil particles, dust, and fingerprints around light fittings, thus it needs to be cleaned on a regular basis. You can keep the wallpaper looking clean and modern with just a few safety measures. You should know how to clean wallpaper.

Steps on how to clean wallpaper?

1) In case of filth, dust, or stains, you should cover the floor and surrounding furniture with a wide sheet of plastic.

2) Then you have to fill one container halfway with warm water and a little amount of clean, detergent solution (approximately two tablespoons). If your wallpaper manual states to use only water, follow them.

3) Then prepare your second container with only clean water. Before you proceed, I recommend starting at the top of the wall and working your way down, end to end.

4) Beginning at the upper corner, you should carefully sweep away any visible dust or small particles with your soft cloth.

5) When you've finished sweeping the entire wall, soak your sponge in the cleaning solution and squeeze out as much extra as you can until the sponge is only slightly wet.

6) If you want to ensure that the sponge will not destroy your paper, test it on an unnoticeable area.

7) If everything appears to be in order, you can start wiping the wall down in circular movements from edge to edge.

8) Wash your sponge frequently to avoid simply moving dirt everywhere.

9) Use the bucket filled with clean water (and a new cloth) to carefully wash away any excess soap that you may not be able to see after every area you cleaned with a soap solution.

10) As you proceed, carefully collect any excess liquid with the towel. Allowing your wallpaper to air dry may cause it to absorb extra water.

11) You have to continue until the entire wall is perfectly clean.
