How to wash a dull stretch ceiling without streaks at home?

Matte stretch ceilings are very popular. For them to serve for a long time, careful care and washing is necessary. Over time, various contaminants appear on the surface of the dull ceiling. To get rid of them, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules of washing, as well as to know what kind of cleaning agents you can wash them.

Stretch opaque ceilings are made of PVC film impregnated with polyurethane. Thanks to this impregnation, a special material texture is formed. Polyurethane is known as a dust repellent and waterproofing agent that allows you to not accumulate on it a lot of dust.

The frequency of cleaning depends on the size and purpose of the room. The living room, hall and bedroom do not require constant care and washing of the ceilings, because there is no accumulation of dirt that does not accumulate here. Stretch ceilings installed in kitchens and dining rooms, are highly susceptible to dirt (grease stains, soot, condensate). Therefore, in such premises it is necessary to carry out cleaning much more often. The same problem arises in the bathroom, where mold or fungus sometimes forms from moisture.

• mop made of foam fabric, its handle should be short, so you can control the pressure on the ceiling;
• soft sponges or wipes, such as microfiber;
• soap solution;

• water at room temperature;
• ladder;
• washing vacuum cleaner.

Before purchasing a cleaning agent, be sure to familiarize yourself with the composition of the product, which should not contain acetone.

For this type of cleaning, clean, dry, soft, lint-free tools are used. The goal is to remove minor contaminants such as dust, cobwebs, fresh stains and traces of condensate. If there is a web, it is enough to brush it away from the cover.

For dry cleansing, you can use a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle of foam rubber. The distance from the vacuum cleaner to the ceiling should be at least 3 cm, it is impossible to touch the surface. This method is not suitable for stubborn pollution. Dry cleaning does not require much effort, so it is mainly performed in order to prevent.

• Impregnation of cloth with chemical solutions. If the first two variations of cleaning are not enough to remove dirt, use detergents. They are applied on fabric or on pollution. Then, with gentle movements, remove the ingrained stain.
• Removal of soap solutions. Using warm water, rinsing the surface of the ceiling.
