Cleaning Fabric Wallcoverings
Some are vinyl-coated and easy to wash. Others, like
burlap or grass cloth, are very hard to clean when
stained. You might try wiping lightly with a sponge
dampened in suds and water; test first in an
inconspicuous spot to be sure the water won't stain the
covering. Best method is to follow directions provided by
the manufacturer of that covering, or ask a dealer for a
cleaner recommended for that wall covering.
Cleaning Fabric Wall coverings
Dust occasionally with a clean cloth or vacuum to
remove loose dirt. Wash spots and stains with a sponge or
soft bristle brush soaked in a mild detergent or soap
solution. Rinse well. If you really have a trouble spot,
add two or three tablespoons of bleach. Use the
non-chlorine type for delicate fabrics. Rinse with plenty
of clear water and dry with an absorbent towel to prevent
streaking.
