ToggleWallpapers 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.
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.
For small stains on non-porous vinyl wallpaper or decorative plaster:
Gently blot with a soft, damp sponge
Use mild soap diluted in water
Rinse with clean water and dry the area
β οΈ Avoid scrubbing β and never use abrasive cloths, which can damage finishes.
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.
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.
