Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the Wall: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, smooth, and free from dust or imperfections. Any old wallpaper or loose paint should be removed.
- Apply Adhesive: Apply wallpaper paste directly to the wall using a roller or brush, covering the area where the first strip will be hung.
- Hang the Wallpaper: Align the first strip of wallpaper vertically, ensuring it is straight. Press firmly into the paste, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
- Trim Edges: Trim any excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board with a sharp blade.
- Continue Hanging: Apply paste to the wall for the next strip and hang, ensuring a tight butt joint between strips. Match the pattern as you go.
Compatibility:
This wallpaper is crafted on a non-woven substrate, making it suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously wallpapered surfaces (provided they are sound and well-adhered).
Care:
To maintain the beauty of the Bird Toile design:
- Gently wipe with a clean, slightly damp cloth to remove light marks.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this may damage the print and texture.
- For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe gently with a damp sponge, then dry immediately.
