Wallpaper Stains

If your wallpaper is a magnet for stains, I have some ideas that should get your wallpaper looking like new again!

1. An eraser sponge is a great tool for spots and smudges on wallpaper, it's gentle enough not to cause any damage and since you use it almost completely dry you don't have to worry about over-wetting the paper.

2. No eraser sponge, a waded up piece of plain white or plain wheat bread will work the same way.

3. If someone hung a picture with tape on your wallpaper, don't just try just ripping it down. Cover the tape with a piece of paper and then iron over the paper with a warm iron on a dry setting, this will activate the sticky side and make it easy to gently peel off. Once it's off use a cloth dipped in a little rubbing alcohol to remove any adhesive residue. This also works great if your little one put stickers on their wallpaper!

4. Your iron can also help get rid of greasy stains on wallpaper. Layer a couple of paper towels over the spot and then run a warm, dry iron over the towels. The oil residue will transfer to the towels!

Smudges and stains gone!
