Wallpaper can add a lot of
character to a space, but like anything else sometimes
there are problems. Well, I can show you how to fix them.
For crayon or wax marks
on wallpaper, aim your hairdryer on the spot to soften the
wax and then wipe it away with a paper towel.
Or, try holding a few
paper towels over the spot and running a hot iron over
them. The heat will transfer the wax to the towels. Just
be careful not to burn your fingers.
For a grease stain on
your wallpaper, grab the baby powder. Rub it into the
spot, and let it sit for a little while then brush it away
with a soft paintbrush.
If you're wary about
hanging pictures on your wallpaper, try this: Cut an "X"
into the paper with a sharp utility knife. Carefully peel
back the four flaps you've created and drive the nail into
the wall under the paper. Then if you ever need to move
the picture you can simply glue the flaps back in place.
Just remember to test
any cleaning solution in a hidden spot first to make sure
you're not going to damage your wallpaper. |
