Step 1: Blot the Stain

The first step is to blot stain with a paper towel, cloth, or sponge. Do not rub the stain as this will cause it to spread and make it more difficult to remove. Instead, press paper towel against the stain and lift up.

Step 2: Make a Cleaning Solution

Next, make a cleaning solution with warm water and a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Dip a cloth into solution and wring it out. Gently blot the stain with the cloth, taking care not to rub or scrub the wallpaper. Once the stain has been thoroughly blotted, rinse the cloth in clean water and repeat.

Step 3: Rinse the Area

Once the stain has been removed, rinse the area with clean, warm water. Use a clean, dry cloth to blot the area and help remove any leftover cleaning solution. Allow the area to air-dry completely before touching it.

Step 4: Use a Stain Remover

If the stain persists, then you may need to use a commercial stain remover. Carefully read the instructions and warning labels on product before using, and follow all safety precautions. Apply the stain remover directly to the stain and allow it to sit for the recommended amount of time.

Step 5: Repeat as Necessary

If the stain still remains, repeat steps 2-4 as necessary. Be patient and keep repeating until the stain is completely gone.

Tips

  • Always spot test any cleaning product or solution on an inconspicuous area of the wallpaper before using. This will help ensure that you don’t cause any unwanted damage.
  • If the stain still remains after attempting all of the steps listed above, call a professional cleaner for advice.
