General Information on Wallpaper Cleaning

Most modern wallcoverings are labeled "nonwashable", "washable", or "scrubbable". If your paper wasn't labeled, but you have a small piece, take it to a wallpaper dealer and ask them what they would recommend. Or test an inconspicuous area (as behind furniture) by wiping it with a damp cloth;if the wallpaper does not change in color or appearance, it probably can be safely cleaned as a washable wallpaper. Always test any cleaning method in an inconspicuous spot before trying in on a wall open to view. Vacuum off dust frequently. Don't let paper get too dirty before cleaning it.
