WALL COVERINGS
Time is very important when removing substance from wall coverings that are
solvent based or contain color. Do not use abrasive cleaners containing chlo-
rine bleach or solvents. Fidelity and Jolie brands are recommended. Always
begin with a mild detergent or soap and warm water. To remove normal dirt,
clean with a soft sponge. Rinse and wipe dry.
Care for the Tower Wall Covering:
Remove ordinary stains with mild soap and warm water. Sponge on. Rinse
well and dry with a soft cloth. For special cleaning problems: To remove
ball point pen, blood, lipstick, etc., use a sponge or soft bristle brush and
Formula 409, Fantastik or a similar product. Rinse well and dry. Finish
cleaning by applying full strength isopropyl alcohol with a sponge or soft
brush. Rinse well and dry.
Care for the Satinesque Wall Covering:
Stains must be removed quickly to minimize the reaction on the wall covering, especially if the stain
is solvent-based or pigmented. Examples: nail polish, oil, shampoo, lacquer, enamel, paint, ink and
lipstick.
Begin cleaning the stain with a mild soap-based detergent; and if necessary, move to a stronger
cleaner such as household bleach, liquid household cleaners or rubbing alcohol. Before applying a
stronger cleaner, test the cleaning agent on a small inconspicuous portion of the wallcovering to ensure
the cleaner does not affect the color or gloss of the wall covering.
Stain Removal Procedures for Specific Stain Types:
Normal Dirt - Remove normal dirt using a mild soap or detergent and warm water. Allow it to soak
for a few minutes then rub briskly with a cloth or sponge.
Nail Polish, Shellac or Lacquer - Remove liquid using a dry cloth. Use care not to spread the
stain. Quickly clean the remaining stain with rubbing alcohol. Rinse with clean water.
Ink - Remove immediately by wiping with a cloth dampened in rubbing alcohol. Rinse with clean
water.
Chewing Gum- Rub with an ice cube to cool and harden. Gently pull off the bulk of the gum.
Remove remaining gum with rubbing alcohol.
Pencil - Erase as much of the pencil mark as possible. Wipe remaining marks with rubbing alcohol.
Blood, Feces or Urine - Remove these staining substances as quickly as possible. Wash the stained
area with a strong soap. If the stain does not disappear, rinse the soapy area thoroughly with clean
water. Mix a solution of 50% water and 50% household bleach. Clean the stained area with the bleach
solution. Rinse with clean water.
