Vinyl Wall CoveringVinyl
wall covering is widely recognized for its durability and aesthetic value -- which
accounts for its popularity in hospitality, retail, health care and office settings.
One major feature of vinyl wall covering is that it doesn't require a great deal of
maintenance. Inexpensive, all-purpose cleansers, mild soaps or household bleach will work
on most normal stains and soils. Isopropyl alcohol usually removes stains and marks made
by ball-point ink, chewing gum, pencil and crayon. Difficult stains, such as blood, urine
or bacteria may be removed with a solution of isopropyl alcohol or bleach applied
immediately to the soiled area to clean and sanitize the stained area.
Textured wall covering may be scrubbed with a soft-bristled brush, then rinsed with clean
water and dried with a clean, dry cloth.
Be sure to clean a small inconspicuous area of the wall covering to test the cleaner
before cleaning the entire area.
Vinyl wall coverings are generally stable. They're made of materials that resist fading
from sunlight or repeated washing.
Stain resistant coatings can improve the wall covering's ability to resist stains, even if
the stain is left on the wall covering for an extended period.
