FAQs
What type of paste should I use?
Ready-mixed paste is recommended for this wallpaper as it is designed for a paste-the-paper application.
How do I clean the wallpaper?
You can gently sponge the wallpaper with a clean, damp cloth to remove light marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
What does 'free match' mean?
A free match wallpaper does not require the pattern to be aligned between adjacent strips, simplifying the hanging process and reducing waste.
How many square meters does one roll cover?
Each roll measures 10m x 0.53m and provides approximately 5.32 square meters of coverage.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is spongeable, it is not fully washable and therefore not ideal for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens where condensation is frequent.
What should I do if I run out of wallpaper?
Order additional rolls as soon as possible. While all rolls ordered together will be from the same batch, subsequent orders may come from a different batch, potentially causing slight color variations.
Is this wallpaper removable?
Yes, the wallpaper is wet removable, meaning it can be taken down more easily when needed, especially compared to traditional wallpapers.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or wrinkles appear after hanging.
Gently lift the edge of the wallpaper while the paste is still wet and smooth it down using a clean wallpaper brush or smoothing tool. For dried-in bubbles, a pinprick may release trapped air, followed by gentle pressing.
Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall.
Ensure the correct type and amount of paste have been applied evenly to the wallpaper. Check that the wall surface is not too porous or dusty. Allow sufficient paste soaking time as per paste instructions.
Color mismatch between rolls.
Verify that all installed rolls are from the same batch number. If different batches were accidentally mixed, contact customer support for advice on potential remedies or replacement.
Difficulty removing excess paste.
Use a clean, damp cloth and wipe gently. Avoid rubbing too hard, which can spread the paste and damage the surface. Rinse the cloth frequently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure your wall surface is clean, dry, and free from old wallpaper or loose paint. Prepare your ready-mixed paste according to the manufacturer's instructions. Apply the paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip. Hang the first strip level, using a plumb line if necessary. Subsequent strips are hung edge-to-edge, without pattern matching. Trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board using a sharp blade and a straight edge.
Compatibility: This wallpaper is designed for interior walls. It is compatible with most standard wallpaper pastes, with ready-mixed paste recommended for ease of use. Ensure the wall surface is sound and dry before application.
Care: For light marks or dust, gently wipe the surface with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the wallpaper finish. The wallpaper is wet removable, allowing for the gentle removal of paste marks during application.
