Does Not Absorb Water

This is an important quality to have in laundry room wallpaper. The high humidity that dryers create often leads to the walls being slightly damp from the high levels of humidity in the room. If the walls absorbs this water, it can result in damage to the wallpaper or the panels peeling off the wall. Homeowners will find that they have to constantly replace their wallpaper. 

Because our wallpaper is non-absorbent, that will not be a concern. It will stay stuck in place despite how much laundry you do daily. The pattern on the wallpaper will not be damaged either. However, homeowners need to ensure that the laundry room is well ventilated.

Tear Resistant

Laundry rooms are full of shelves, people, laundry,  more. More than one laundry basket will inevitably scrape against the wallpaper as you attempt to maneuver around your laundry room. Thanks to us using tear-resistant paper to make our wallpaper panels, you don’t have to be careful to avoid rips. When your laundry basket slides against the wallpaper, it’s not going to tear like cheap wallpaper will. 

Easy To Maintain

A laundry room will attract dirt, fingerprints on the walls, and more. Our wallpaper is easy to clean so that you don’t have to spend hours making sure that your walls look like new though! Simply dip a washcloth in water, and wring it out so that it is barely damp. Then, wipe away dirt. For loose dirt, use a dry towel to clean wallpaper panels. Do not use chemicals when cleaning our removable wallpaper.

Peel and stick wallpaper is so durable that you will never have to worry about it peeling off or needing to be replaced. Instead, it will last for year after year. It will not chip or peel as paint does. It also will not slowly come off like traditional wallpaper that is held in place with glue does. You can trust that when you apply our wallpaper panels, they will stay in perfect place.

For optimal adhesion of your WALLFLORA peel and stick wallpaper, ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Remove any dirt, dust, grease, mildew, or ink stains to prevent adhesion issues. If dealing with heavily textured or damaged walls, consider using a heavy-duty wallpaper liner. We advise having two people for installation to ensure smooth application—so team up and enjoy the process!

Pre-Installation Checklist

  1. Clean the wall thoroughly with a microfiber cloth.
  2. Remove nails, screws, and fill in cracks.
  3. Switch off electricity and remove socket/switch covers.
  4. Sand rough areas smooth.
  5. Maintain room temperature at 68°F (20°C) during installation.
  6. Let wallpaper acclimate in room for 24 hours before applying.
  7. If walls are freshly painted, wait 4 weeks before applying wallpaper. If paint has washable coating, prime with PVA-based primer or regular emulsion paint and let dry before hanging.

Tools you will need

  1. Microfiber cloth
  2. Measuring tape
  3. Spirit level
  4. Pencil
  5. Exacto knife or paper knife
  6. Triangle ruler
  7. Plastic squeegee smoother with felt edge
  1. Unroll the wallpaper or mural and separate the panels. Arrange them in hanging order from left to right on the floor. For murals, use the numbers on the back of each panel, which are always positioned at the bottom to ensure correct orientation. Repeating patterns can be installed in any order.
  2. Once your wallpaper or mural is laid out, align the design to ensure the image or pattern matches before proceeding with installation.

Line up the first panel

Start from the left side of your wall. Use a tape measure and spirit level to mark where Panel 1 should be positioned. With a pencil create a vertical plumb line from floor to ceiling, then mark a horizontal line 19” from the wall with 1”-2” overhang on the left side of Panel 1. This ensures the first panel is hung straight, vital for successful installation.

Take time to ensure accuracy, as walls are never perfectly straight!

Install the first panel

  1. With your partner's assistance, peel about a third of the backing paper from the first panel. Align the top right edge with the marked plumb line, leaving a 2” overhang at the top to prevent gapping on uneven walls and ceilings.
  2. Once the first panel is straight, continue removing the lining paper slowly while working with the felt-tipped squeegee to apply pressure gradually from the middle, moving downward and outward. Avoid creasing the wallpaper by smoothing gently and evenly. Smoothing diagonally helps remove trapped air.
  3. If repositioning is necessary, gently remove and restick the panel until straight.

Butt up the panels

When hanging multiple panels, align the edges tightly together without overlapping!

  1. Peel about a third of the backing paper and, with assistance, visually match the design down the length of the wall. Once aligned, firmly press the panels together to conceal the seams without overlapping. Smooth out any air bubbles using the felt-tipped squeegee or a soft cloth.
  2. Proceed to remove the remaining backing paper and carefully smooth the wallpaper until fully installed.

Repeat until finished

  1. Repeat the previous steps for all panels until wallpaper is fully installed.
  2. Use a triangle ruler and sharp blade to trim excess from final drop and top/bottom of all drops.
  3. Firmly smooth wallpaper with felt-tipped squeegee to remove air pockets and ensure bonding to wall. Repeat this step one week after installation for optimal results.

Allow for drying at room temperature with adequate ventilation.
