If you want to utilize Green Cleaning in your wallpaper, here are the tips given by Care2 to make this possible:
1. Dust It Off
This is one of the easiest ways to use green cleaning method. In dusting your wallpaper, you can use a microfiber cloth for this or a vacuum cleaner.
2. Dough It All
Incorporate this type of technique by using a dough and rolling it in the surface of your wall. Hold your dough then roll it downwards where the prickly dust is accumulating. This will rid off the dust mites and stains in your wall.
If you don't have a dough at hand, you can make your own at home. Care2 provided these instructions for this diy: "some salt, a pinch of corn starch, a sprinkle of baking soda, and a dot of natural dishwasher detergent. When the outside of the dough ball gets dirty, simply knead the dirty part towards the center to expose a clean, fresh surface."
3. Spectacular Spot Cleaning
This method is best for stubborn stains by using mild cleaners that are eco-friendly and sponge off the dirt gently. Using a soft sponge, clean the spot in circular motions mildly until the stain is gone.
