Every room has four walls.
Occupying most of the room,
As the largest place in the family,
The walls affect the overall environment of the home.
It is also the most intuitive visual point of a room.
But after a long time, there will be various problems on the wall.
It not only affects the appearance, but also makes people uncomfortable.
So we should take good care of it.~
Although there are many new materials for wall decoration on the market, most of them are latex paint and wallpaper, because both of them are practical, low cost and convenient for later cleaning.
However, there are no perfect materials. Even though they are more cost-effective than other materials, they also have their own problems.
Latex paint material
Usually, we use all kinds of skin care products to protect our skin. As the "second face" of our family, the wall is also protected by wall paint. But in real life, the wall will still be "acne", "dry skin" and so on...
Moldy
Moldy walls are not uncommon, especially in wet seasons, which are common problems. The presence of a large number of mold, not only affect the appearance of the room, long-term inhalation is not conducive to health.
First, prepare disinfectant or bleach solution (such as 84, etc.) and clear water. Dilute according to the ratio of clean water to solution 10:1 ~ 5:1. If the mildew is serious, the proportion of clear water will be less. Otherwise, dip a towel in the wall and gently wipe the wall.
Note: the solution is highly irritating. It's better not to touch the skin directly. Remember to prepare a pair of silica gel gloves!
Yellowing
White things seem to turn yellow and discolor easily after a long time... But it's not difficult to remove them. Prepare a bottle of white vinegar, a bottle of detergent and a rag.
The operation process is also very simple. Mix 1 teaspoon of white vinegar + 1 teaspoon of detergent + 100ml of clear water evenly, wet the dishcloth, and then wipe it wherever it is yellow.
Wall cracking
If the crack is not very large, the paint at the crack can be polished off with dry and wet sandpaper and water, the surface can be polished smooth and then coated with a layer of putty, and then painted with the same type of paint on the wall, so that the color difference can not be seen.
If the crack is very serious, it is recommended to contact a professional to see what causes the crack and check whether the wall is stable.
Various stains
Living for a long time, the walls will inevitably be stained with various stains.
If the wall is painted with water-resistant emulsion paint, you can use a towel with water to directly wipe the stain, wipe it clean and then wipe it again with a dry towel.
If the wall is not water-resistant emulsion paint, you can try to wipe it with an eraser, or dip a dry towel with a little detergent, and then gently wipe it after wring it dry.
Various pen marks
If there are children in the house, the walls of the house are afraid of their "bear claws".
Pencil: it's probably the easiest way to mend it compared to other types of handwriting. Just rub it off with an eraser.
Crayon: because the material of crayon is mainly wax, which is easy to dissolve in heat. So we can cover a towel on the crayon mark, and then use a hair dryer to heat it evenly for a minute or two, and then wipe the mark with a wet cloth.
Watercolor pen: universal white vinegar on-line, wet the paper towel with white vinegar, and then cover the trace of the color pen. 5 minutes later, remove the paper towel, and the color pen on the wall will be absorbed by the paper towel!
Signature pen and ballpoint pen: it's difficult to remove the ink stains of this material. You need to wet the towel with alcohol, and then gently wipe until the traces are wiped clean.
If the wall is too yellow, too many stains, too wide range of pen marks, and it's too troublesome to clean up, it's all right to directly paste the wallpaper.~
Wallpaper materials
However, wallpaper is not omnipotent, it also has some problems:
Edge lifting
Wallpaper will appear this phenomenon is mainly caused by the gluing process is not done in place.
1. First use warm water to dissolve and scrape the glue on the back of the wallpaper. After the wallpaper is dry, apply the new glue evenly.
2. Use a blower to heat the wallpaper to make it soft; use a scraper to fix the wallpaper on the wall and continue heating.
3. Finally, cold compress with wet towel, which is conducive to rapid setting of wallpaper.
Stain
Mix the cleaning liquid with clean water, wet it with towel, wipe the spot lightly, and then wipe it with dry towel again.
Emulsion paint or wallpaper
Latex paint and wallpaper are widely used, both have advantages and disadvantages, which one can be chosen according to their own needs and preferences.
From the perspective of visual effect, wallpaper is better than latex paint. Wallpaper can choose all kinds of patterns and patterns that you like, while latex paint can only color.
From a price point of view, wallpaper is more expensive than latex paint. Especially those good-looking and high-quality wallpaper, equivalent to "RMB pasted on the wall", so the budget is limited, you can choose latex paint.
In terms of service life, emulsion paint has a longer service life than wallpaper. After two or three years of use, wallpaper is prone to curling, fading and other problems. If the problem is serious, it usually needs to be replaced with a new one.
In general, although the cost performance of latex paint is better than that of wallpaper, both have advantages and disadvantages, so you can choose according to your own personal situation.
