Product Information

The cleanability characteristics of the sealed wallpaper depend on the chosen protective product and the number of layers applied. Almost all wallpaper protection products can be washed off with water, household cleaner and a clean cloth. Some of them, for instance Molto wallpaper protection fluid, are even scrubbable and allow for stronger pressure during cleaning, as well as the use of sponges or soft brushes to remove stains.

If you find yourself in the situation that you have recently put up new wallpaper but now realise that it might not be robust enough for the specific room, and a certain level of washability and dirt-resistance is required, you might contemplate adding some sort of surface protection. You might have chosen your wallpaper simply because it is exactly to your taste, not taking into consideration whether it has a washable surface - another good reason to think about applying a protective coating. But before you begin the process, a few things need to be considered. Most of the wallpaper protection products available come with the declaration "Suitable for all types of wallpaper", but there are exceptions. After all, wallpaper surfaces are extremely varied and the decision should be based on facts. Before applying the liquid protective layer, it is recommended that a test should be conducted on a small area out of sight, or preferably on a piece remaining from the wallpapering process. This will give definite results in terms of how/whether the wallpaper absorbs the liquid and whether it is suitable. Design wallpapers with paper or non-woven carriers come with a large variety of surface materials and finishes. These are the determining factor when it comes to deciding whether sealing or coating with liquid or foil wallpaper protection is an option. Wallpapers with non-washable surfaces can be sealed with a liquid "wallpaper protection fluid" so that they are dirt-repellent and washable. The transparent protective coating is ideal for design and pattern wall décor in rooms that are moderately to heavily used, for instance kitchens, bathrooms, stairways, kids' rooms, or public buildings with large numbers of visitors. Alternatively, transparent wallpaper protection foil is available on the market. This is glued onto the wallpaper.For kitchen splash guards, there are special protective foils with heat resistances up to 80 degrees which are also steam-resistant (so will not come off the wall!). Application of wallpaper protection foils It is best to choose a product that is described as "wallpaper protection", "liquid laminate" or "aqueous plastic dispersion solution". Clear varnish is definitely not suitable as a protective coating as it will result in a yellowing, greasy looking film and can react negatively with the wallpaper or even dissolve it. The acrylic-based liquids are solvent-free, water-soluble and non-yellowing. The amount of water used for thinning the liquid determines the eventual degree of shine. The more water is used, the less shiny the surface will be. The surface needs to be dry, clean, fat-free and absorbent, i.e. any traces of dust, loose particles or other contaminants must be removed beforehand. Open seams or small damages should also be dealt with in advance to achieve perfect results.

The liquid form is much easier to apply, which is why laypeople usually prefer it. It has proven to be ideal for wall décor that consists entirely of paper. Applying protective foil requires much more patience, skill and practice, and it is more suitable for smaller areas, e.g. a feature wall, a wallpapered fireplace surround or decorative wallpaper pieces. Which wallpaper types and surfaces are suitable for protective coating?Here is a list of some wallpaper protection products (mostly manufactured in Germany but available internationally): This guide will explain when and why this kind of coating is appropriate, which wallpaper surfaces and types are suitable, and what details to consider. In addition we will list the differences between liquid, i.e. spreadable products, and transparent foil. The term "water-resistant" stands for the lowest level of cleanability. Water-resistant wallpapers do not come with any surface coating; only the odd splatter of wallpapering paste can be removed from them. In other words: they are not washable. All other classifications, from washable to highly scrub-resistant, imply that they can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The degree to which this is the case, and which types of cleaning materials and detergents can be used, depends on the classification. In our Guide Blog Washable Wallpaper - A clean solution, you can find detailed information regarding the various cleaning classifications.

Generally, yes - you can help protect the wallpaper with polyurethane. However, once the paper is on, it's not coming off without a complete overhaul (sand it all off and redo it), and you should be aware that paper tends to fade and yellow after a while.

How to seal non-coated wallpapers

One single layer is usually insufficient. The desired strength of the protective skin as well as appropriate resistance to dirt and moisture can only be achieved with more than one thin layer. It is a question of trial-and-error - you will make your own decision as to when the required layer strength has been reached. Metal and effect foil wallpapers, nature models with surfaces made from cork, grasses, or mica stones, and textile or glass bead wallpapers are all unsuitable for the treatment. Liquid protective products cannot be used for these types of wall décor as they will not adhere to the surfaces mentioned above. The special optical effects of these structures would be sealed in, destroying the character of the design wallpaper. The chemical reactions of surface materials and liquid protection products cannot be predicted, and the process is therefore too risky. In addition, useful characteristics like moisture regulation and breathability, especially with nature wallpapers, would be lost. For the same reasons, using transparent foil as a protective treatment is also not a good idea. After each layer has been applied, it has to fully dry before another one can be added. Once this has been established by carefully wiping over it with a hand or finger, the process can continue.
