Caring for glossy canvases

Glossy ceilings have a beautiful shine and an almost mirrored surface, regardless of the color of the stretched material. Often a thin, greasy film appears on them, which has to be removed mechanically. How to clean the material so as not to damage the canvas?

Firstly, we arm ourselves with the softest napkin, which is in your home. In household chemical stores, you will find special sprays and aerosols containing alcohol. They easily clean even stubborn grease and dirt.

Secondly, we apply the spray to the napkin and distribute it over the canvas with gentle, confident movements. After passing the entire surface, we erase the formed mud film using a clean napkin.

Instead of special sprays, a solution of ammonia is sometimes used. A 10% composition is diluted in pure water with a ratio of 9: 1.

Important wipe the ceiling dry after completing hygiene procedures. This will give it an attractive gloss and a mirror-like surface again.

Care for matte ceilings

Matte panels are more capricious, as differ in porous structure. As a result, dirt that gets on the surface eats into the stretch ceiling more, and cleaning becomes more difficult.

There are several types of matte canvases:

• satin;
• fabric;
• PVC.

Satin ones are distinguished by a flat surface, without pronounced graininess. Fabric is a weave of threads, between which dirt often accumulates. PVC ceilings have a pronounced granular structure, which makes cleaning difficult.

The principle of care for matte surfaces is the same. You just have to spend more time to gently remove the dirt. Same use a soft cloth and cleaning solution - special or prepared from improvised substances.

Which remedies are suitable?

For cleaning stretch ceilings, any chemicals are suitable that can clean the surface from dust, dirt and grease. An exception is considered aggressive funds and chemistry with abrasive elements. They are able to render the ceiling unusable.

The situation is complicated if a person with an allergy to household chemicals lives in the house. And some housewives do not use purchased products at all, dispensing with homemade recipes. In this case, use a solution of ammonia 9% if you need to wash complex stains. A liquid soap solution is used for the usual hygiene procedure.

remember, that fresh stains are much easier to clean. Saw that a stain has appeared - immediately act on it pointwise, blot it with a napkin. It will make your life easier.

How often should you clean?

The frequency of cleaning directly depends on the type of room. More often you will have to clean up the children's room. This room requires special attention to cleanliness, and little pranksters are able to stain the canvas with glue, felt-tip pens or plasticine. Cleaning is carried out about once a month.

In living rooms, constant care is not required. Especially if, before installation, you have chosen high-quality material with special impregnations. They do not absorb dirt and dust and are easy to clean. Here cleaning is carried out no more than 1-2 times a year.

The kitchen and bathroom are the most contaminated by condensation and grease. In the kitchen where food is prepared, even soot can appear. And this does not depend on the quality of the hood. You will have to clean up here with the help of special means, at least 2-4 times a year.
