Will Chinese-style wallpaper get moldy?

In the pursuit of personalized home decoration, Chinese-style wallpaper has become the first choice of many design enthusiasts with its unique oriental aesthetics and profound cultural heritage. However, some people are worried that Chinese-style wallpaper is prone to mold. This article will discuss this issue and provide practical suggestions for the use and maintenance of wallpaper.

1. Analysis of the causes of wallpaper mold

First of all, we need to understand the root cause of wallpaper mold. Usually, wallpaper mold is caused by excessive humidity in the environment or high water content in the wall, which causes the glue behind the wallpaper or the water inside the wall to be unable to evaporate, forming an environment suitable for mold growth. Especially in indoor environments without good ventilation conditions, or in areas with a long rainy season, wallpaper is more susceptible to moisture and mold.

The materials commonly used for Chinese-style wallpaper include paper-based, non-woven fabrics, PVC, etc. Among them, paper-based wallpaper is more sensitive to humidity and easier to absorb moisture due to its natural fiber characteristics, so the risk of mold is relatively high. Non-woven fabrics and PVC wallpapers are relatively less likely to mold due to their good moisture-proof properties.

2. Effective measures to prevent wallpaper mold

Wall treatment: Before pasting wallpaper, make sure the wall is dry, flat, and clean. If the wall is damp, waterproof treatment should be carried out first. Use qualified waterproof coating or sealing primer to establish an effective moisture-proof layer.

Choose the right adhesive: Choose wallpaper glue with an anti-mildew function. This type of glue contains an anti-mildew agent, which can inhibit the growth of mold to a certain extent.

Control indoor humidity: Use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to keep the indoor humidity within a reasonable range, usually maintained at 40%-60%. At the same time, strengthen indoor ventilation, especially in rainy and humid seasons.

Regular inspection and maintenance: Regularly check whether the wallpaper has initial signs of mildew such as bubbling and discoloration, and deal with it immediately once found. When cleaning the wallpaper, use a clean soft cloth to dip in a small amount of clean water or a special detergent to gently wipe it.

3. How to deal with wallpaper mold

Mild mildew treatment: For mild mildew on the surface of the wallpaper, you can use a detergent containing chlorinated bleach to gently wipe it, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.

Severe mildew treatment: If the mildew is serious, the wallpaper may need to be replaced. When replacing, the old wallpaper and glue should be thoroughly removed, and the new wallpaper should be pasted again after the wall is dry.

Preventing mold from growing again: After replacing the new wallpaper, take the above precautions to prevent the wallpaper from getting moldy again.

In summary, although Chinese-style wallpaper is loved by many people for its material and design, it does have the risk of getting moldy during use. Through reasonable preventive measures and maintenance methods, the possibility of wallpaper getting moldy can be effectively reduced. When choosing wallpaper, consider environmental factors and personal preferences, reasonably match wallpaper materials and patterns, and do not forget to do a good job of moisture-proof treatment of the wall and humidity control of the indoor environment, so that the beauty of Chinese-style wallpaper can be displayed for a long time and add infinite style to home life.
