Washable Wallpaper

• 1). Wipe off removable mildew with a soft, dry cloth. Touch the wallpaper to check for dampness. If it is damp, you should dry it before cleaning it--otherwise, it may loosen from the wall. To dry the wallpaper, heat the room using a portable heater, or turn up the heat in the whole house.
  
  
• 2). Put on rubber gloves. Pour 1 tsp. of hand soap on a sponge. Dampen the sponge under warm water and squeeze it to spread the soap over the surface.
  
  
• 3). Gently scrub the sponge over the mildewed areas of wallpaper. Rinse out the sponge and wipe the damp, rinsed sponge over the paper to rinse off the soap.
  
  
• 4). Treat remaining mildew stains with bleach. Mix 1 quart of bleach with a gallon of water in a bucket.
  
  
• 5). Dip a sponge in the bucket and squeeze it out. Wipe it over the mildew stained area. Rinse out the sponge after and wipe the area again to remove the bleach.
