How to Clean Wall Panels – Quick & Easy Cleaning Tips
How to Clean Wall Panels ?
We all want our homes and spaces to look clean and fresh. But sometimes, even when the floors are spotless and everything is in place, the walls can still make a room feel dull or dusty.
It doesn't matter if you have WPC, PVC, MDF, or soft stone wall panels, a little regular care can keep them looking brand new for years and you don’t need fancy tools or strong chemicals to do it.
Here’s a simple way to clean your wall panels and make your room more clean.
1. Start with a Dry Dusting
Before using any water, grab a soft microfiber cloth or a duster and gently wipe the surface of the panels. This removes dust, cobwebs, or loose dirt. Just like furniture, wall panels collect dust too. Regular dusting keeps them from looking dull and helps them shine longer.
2. Use Warm Water and a Mild Cleaner
If your panels need a deeper clean, fill a bucket or spray bottle with warm water and a few drops of mild soap or dishwashing liquid. No need for bleach or strong chemicals.
1.Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution.
2.Gently wipe the panels in a circular motion.
3.Avoid soaking the cloth—just damp is enough.
Too much water can damage some types of panels, especially MDF or wood-based ones.
3. Avoid Abrasive Scrubbers or Harsh Cleaners
Don’t use anything rough like steel wool or scouring pads. They can scratch the surface or ruin the finish of your panels.
Also, stay away from cleaners that contain bleach, ammonia, or alcohol. These can cause discoloration or damage over time.
4. Tackle Stains Gently
Got fingerprints, food stains, or marks? For tougher stains or discolored spots on your wall panels, a simple paste made from baking soda and white vinegar works wonders. This natural combo cuts through grease, grime, and even stubborn marks like nicotine stains. Just mix the two until you get a smooth paste, then gently scrub the area with a soft sponge. The paste acts like a gentle eraser, lifting the stain without damaging the surface. After scrubbing, wipe the area clean with a damp cloth and your panels will look fresh and renewed.
5. Dry with a Soft Towel
After cleaning, use a dry microfiber towel to gently pat the surface dry. This helps prevent streaks or water marks and keeps the surface looking polished.
6. Clean Regularly, Not Just When It Looks Dirty
Like anything in your home, wall panels stay beautiful when they’re maintained regularly. Make light cleaning a part of your monthly or weekly routine, especially in high-traffic areas like hallways or behind the TV.
Wall panels don’t just add style, they protect your walls and create an elegant look. But even the most beautiful panels lose their charm if they’re covered in dust or stains.
Luckily, cleaning wall panels is easy. With just a few minutes, a soft cloth, and some warm water, you can keep your space looking as fresh as the day it was installed.
