3.2 WALLCOVERING
GENERAL CLEANING
•Remove ordinary dirt and smudges with a mild soap and
warm water solution.
•Rinse with clean, clear water and dry with a soft, lint free
cloth or towel.
•Use only soft bristle brushes.
•Treat damp spots and stains promptly to make clean up as
easy as possible.
•Blot wet spills with an absorbent cloth or polyester sponge.
•Work from the outside to the center of the stain when
using cleaning solvents.
•Blot the stain with a clean sponge or absorbent cloth.
•If a crusty stain has developed, tap the spot to break up the
incrustation in order to remove as much as possible prior to
cleaning solvents.
•Chewing gum, candle wax or similar waxy substances may
be removed by rubbing the spot quickly with ice so that the
material becomes brittle and then blot dry.
The brittle substance can then be picked off the wall covering. Follow with a cleaning solvent, if necessary.
Contact each manufacturer for a specific list of solvents to
be used for tough stains.

Content:
63% Polyolefin,
37% Post-Consumer Recycled Polyester
Finish: PFOA-Free Stain Resistant
Backing: Acrylic
Maintenance: W/S/B-Clean with water-based cleanser; mild, water-free dry cleaning solvent, or diluted household bleach.
Regular Maintenance
Vacuum regularly using the proper attachment to avoid
pilling.
General Recommendations
Treat stains promptly. The longer a stain remains on the textile, the more difficult it will be to remove. A professional
furniture cleaning service is recommended.
Always pre-test any cleaning method in an inconspicuous
area.
Several light applications of a cleaning agent are less harmful
than a single concentrated application. Repeat stain treatment several times if necessary.
Never use heat to clean textiles. Heat can set stains.
Do not over saturate the textile or let water pool in seams.

Stain Treatment
Soak up any excess moisture immediately.
For water-based stains, use a clean, soft, white cloth, a natural
sponge, or a nylon soft-bristle brush with lukewarm, soapy
water. Brush the stain with light, quick strokes. Avoid a
scrubbing motion and work from the edge of the stain
toward the center.
For oil-based stains, use a clean, soft, white cloth, a natural
sponge, or nylon, soft-bristle brush with a water-free dry
cleaning solvent. Brush the stain with light, quick strokes.
Avoid a scrubbing motion. Work from the edge of the stain
toward the center.
For tougher oil-based stains, confirm the construction of
your textile is bleach cleanable. If so, and additional stain
treatment is needed, use a 10% solution of diluted household bleach. Thoroughly rinse with cool, clean water and
completely remove all cleaning residue.
For insoluble stains (e.g. chewing gum, candle wax, etc.),
use a plastic bag filled with ice to rub the stain until the
substance becomes brittle. Use a clean, dull, flat knife to
gently remove the substance. If the stain persists, blot the
area with a clean, soft, white cloth or natural sponge and
lukewarm soapy water.
If the stain persists, gently dab a pH-neutral cleanser, upholstery spot cleaner, or an equal mixture of water and enzyme
detergent (e.g. laundry detergent) on the stain and let it sit
for one minute.
Rinse stain treatment thoroughly with a natural sponge
moistened slightly with cool, clean water and completely
remove all cleaning solution residue as left over residue can
attract soil over time.
Extra care should be taken when cleaning dark colors to
avoid creating light marks that can be caused by color transfer.
Avoid excess rubbing to prevent discoloration and damage
to the face of the material. Do not saturate the surface. Allow the textile to dry thoroughly and vacuum before using.
Always pre-test in an inconspicuous area before cleaning.
After cleaning, rinse repeatedly with cool, clean water to ensure complete removal of all cleaning solution residue. Left
over residue can discolor over time.

3.2 WALLCOVERING

Material: Vinyl

This type of wallcovering is protected with water-based
coating. The coating not only aids in the stain resistance and
cleanability of the wallcovering, it does so in an environmentally safe manner.
Stains should be removed as quickly as possible to eliminate any possible reaction between the staining agent and
the wallcovering. (Not as critical with products coated with
Teflon® film.) Time is especially important for removing
materials containing colors or solvents such as ball point ink,
nail polish, lipstick, oil shampoo tints, paint, lacquer or enamel
and some foods.
PRECAUTIONS:
Excess soiling materials such as chewing gum, asphalt, crayon,
paint, nail polish or tar should be carefully scraped off prior
to other cleaning attempts.
CLEANING:
The normal cleaning of the wallcoverings should be done
with mild ingredients such as soap, detergent and water. If
stained and stronger cleaning is required, a liquid household
cleaner should be used. Liquid cleaners should be of low
VOC content and non-abrasive.
Metallic finishes can be discolored with the use of caustic
cleaners. Thus, we recommend only the use of a mild soap
solution for cleaning these products. If stronger cleaning
is required, first evaluate the cleaner in an inconspicuous
location.
The method of cleaning should be to use a natural sponge
and mild soap solution. A natural sponge’s construction does
the best job of removing dirt from the textured surface.
With difficult to remove deposits, the use of a soft bristle
brush is recommended. Then, rinse thoroughly with clean
clear water, changing the water often to insure it remains
clean and clear. After cleaning an area, be sure to dry with an
absorbent cloth so it can be examined to assure complete
cleaning.
Repeated use of stronger cleaners will extract plasticizer
from vinyl wallcoverings causing the wallcovering to lose its
suppleness.
Never mix cleaning agents together.
Violent reactions may occur which could result in serious
injury.
Observe all label precautions when using these and any
cleaning agents.

•Remove stains as soon as possible. The faster it’s gone, the
less chance the stain has to chemically react with the wallcovering. The longer it’s on, the more chance the stain has to
discolor the wallcovering permanently.
•Mild soap and water can remove ordinary dirt spots. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Blot dry with a soft lint-free
towel.
•Stronger detergent can remove difficult stains that are
surface deep-but try an inconspicuous spot first, before
attempting the whole wall. Always rinse after applying any
detergent. Do not rub spots abrasively.
•Do not use steel wool, powdered cleaners, or active
solvent-type preparations (nail polish remover, tar and bug
removers, etc.). This will very likely damage the
wallcovering.
•Textile wallcoverings are an exception: like any textile, they
require special care and you should follow the manufacturer’s advice. Vacuum occasionally to remove dirt and lint.
We recommend reading manufacturer’s guidelines before
you start cleaning.
