Yes! We are happy to accommodate any special requests you may have. If parts of your home are especially cluttered or untidy, our team can spend their time just on those areas so that you get the best value for your money. Common special requests we receive include: de-griming baseboards, cleaning inside cabinets, removing pet hair from furniture, and de-cluttering closets.

How to Clean Wallpapered Walls

Wallpaper is starting to make a comeback in interior design, which means you’ll want to know how to keep it looking pristine for years to come. Most modern wallpaper can be cleaned using eraser putty and a water-based cleaning method, but older wallpaper will need a gentler approach.

Tools You’ll Need

Microfiber cloth or lambswool duster
Dry sponge
Dish soap
Bucket of warm water

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Step 1

Wipe with dry sponge

Grab your dry sponge and use long, downward strokes to remove dirt. A dry sponge is sufficient for easy-to-remove dirt and dust on older wallpaper.

Step 2

Spot Clean

For vinyl wallpaper and spot cleaning, mix warm water and dish soap in a bucket.
Dip your sponge into the soapy water and wring it out well. Use downward, gentle strokes across the wallpaper’s surface.

Step 3

Immediately dry the area

Immediately dry the area you just washed to keep the wallpaper from absorbing any extra moisture.
