Taking Care of Wallpapers and Decorative Plasters in Denver Metro Area

Wallpapers and decorative plasters add beauty, depth, and personality to your Colorado home β€” but to keep them looking their best, proper care is essential. Whether you live in Denver, Lakewood, Aurora, or Castle Rock, these expert tips will help you preserve your finishes and extend the life of your investment.

🧹 Regular Cleaning Tips

To prevent buildup of dust and particles, clean wallpapered and plastered walls regularly:

  • Use a soft microfiber cloth or duster

  • A vacuum with a brush attachment also works well

  • Always test a small area first

This helps maintain color vibrancy and surface texture β€” especially in high-traffic areas like hallways and entryways.

🧽 How to Remove Stains Safely

For small stains on non-porous vinyl wallpaper or decorative plaster:

  1. Gently blot with a soft, damp sponge

  2. Use mild soap diluted in water

  3. Rinse with clean water and dry the area

⚠️ Avoid scrubbing β€” and never use abrasive cloths, which can damage finishes.

πŸ’§ Prevent Moisture Damage

Colorado homes often experience seasonal humidity changes. To protect your walls:

  • Ensure proper ventilation in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements

  • Use a dehumidifier in areas prone to condensation

  • Never let standing water touch wallpaper seams or plaster corners

We also recommend using waterproof or vinyl materials in areas with higher moisture levels.

🚫 Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Skip bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners. These can:

  • Discolor wallpaper ink

  • Erode plaster surfaces

  • Leave permanent streaks or residue

Choose pH-neutral, gentle cleaning solutions β€” and always test on a hidden spot first.
