How to clean a stretch ceiling without streaks

For dry dusting, a soft cloth is enough, but it is more convenient to do this with a vacuum cleaner. Turn it on to minimum power and, if there is no special nozzle, collect dust by holding the hose a short distance from the ceiling. So thin coating will not get sucked into the vacuum cleaner. First check how well the canvas is fixed and stretched.

1. We clean the ceiling from dust.
2. We apply detergent, and better - soap suds.
3. Wash off dirt and soap.

Fabric ceiling maintenance

Leaks on such ceilings leave dirty water stains that cannot be removed. The only way is to wash off the visible dirt and dye the fabric water-based paint. Textile ceilings can be painted up to 10 times. You can remove other stains in the following ways:

Caring for stretch glossy ceilings is, in principle, not complicated. The only difficulty is to achieve the absence of streaks after washing, because rubbing an elastic fabric that does not have a rigid base under it is problematic.

However, it is possible to cope with this task if you use the right tools and tools. Do you want to know how to do it? I will tell you about it.

How to wash a glossy ceiling

In general, it is necessary to wash stretch glossy canvases only if dirty or greasy spots, traces of condensation appear on them. If they have lost their original luster from dust accumulated on them, you can get by with dry cleaning with a vacuum cleaner.

In living rooms, one such cleaning is usually enough every six months - a year. But the care of stretch ceilings in the kitchen, bathrooms or loggias requires the use of special products to clean them from soot, grease or soap stains.

What means to use

When choosing detergents, exclude too aggressive, containing caustic acids, alkalis and solvents. Tools with abrasive inclusions are also not suitable - they can leave scratches on a glossy surface.

What we need are liquids and gels for removing fat and alcohol-containing formulations. Glossy ceilings can be washed from finished factory products by the following means:

Ready detergents	Description and application
	Special compositions for the care of stretch ceilings. Available in the form of sprays. The instructions on the package describe how to use.
	Glass cleaners containing alcohol. They do not leave streaks, but use them in the same way as when washing windows.
	Dishwashing liquids. They are diluted in a small amount in water before use, otherwise the soapy solution will then be difficult to wash off without leaving traces.

Pay Special attention to the first two positions. Both those and others consist of similar components. They include:

• Isopropyl or ammonia diluted with distilled water;
• Surfactants (surfactants);
• Various additives - flavors, dyes, etc.

Alcohol perfectly dissolves even the most difficult pollution. And if you need to wash the stretch ceiling, but there is no suitable product at hand, you can dilute 2 tablespoons in a liter of warm water. ammonia. Or use regular vodka.

This solution is good for shiny surfaces. In addition to the fact that it copes well with dirt, ammonia quickly evaporates, leaving no odors or marks behind. At the same time, restoring the gloss lost by the surface.

Therefore, when deciding how to wash a glossy stretch ceiling without streaks, preference should be given to alcohol-containing compounds. But for matte finishes, a regular glass cleaner or dishwashing liquid is also suitable.

How to wash

Even if abrasive powders are not recommended to be used as a detergent, then washing stretch ceilings with hard brushes and sponges is all the more impossible. Yes, and there is no need. The maximum set of tools that you may need includes:

• Vacuum cleaner or mop to remove dust. In order not to accidentally tear the canvas and leave scratches on it, all the hard parts of the instrument are wrapped in a soft cloth.

• Spray.
• net cloth, which absorbs moisture well and does not leave lint on the surface. Flannel and microfiber will do.

How to wash a glossy ceiling

If you do not have the opportunity to use the services of cleaning companies, you can wash the ceiling with your own hands. Without leaving streaks and restoring its shine. This is done simply:

• Dust removal. First, using a vacuum cleaner, mop or soft panicle, we remove dust and cobwebs from the ceiling. This task is best handled by a vacuum cleaner, which is convenient to clean the corners and places around the lamps. But the power of the unit should be small.

• Applying detergent. If you cook it yourself, use warm water instead ready solution pour into a spray bottle. With it, wetting the surface is much more convenient than with a wet cloth.

• Wet cleaning. After a few minutes, when the product has taken effect, wipe the surface with a damp cloth, rinsing it periodically in clean water. Pollution that is not removed from the first run, process again.
• Drying. Follow the wet wipe with a dry cloth to dry the area immediately.

When using dishwashing detergent, it may take several passes with a damp cloth to avoid streaks. Therefore, it is better to leave such liquids on extreme case if other means have not coped with fat.

This work is quite laborious, but the price that cleaning services ask for such cleaning reconciles us with it. Moreover, it is necessary to wash the ceilings infrequently.

And one more tip: Try to clean during daylight hours. Under electric lighting, shadows and glare on a glossy surface can make it difficult to see stains.

When washing ceilings, one should not be afraid to press on the canvas and stretch it, because these loads are working for it. However, do not press the canvas against the floor slab or wires located above the fabric.

Cleaning the fabric ceiling can be done with bolder movements, since this material is strong enough, but with film ceilings you need to be as careful as possible.

Is it possible to wash stretch ceilings and how often should this be done?

Definitely, you can wash stretch ceilings, but for different types canvases, although there are minor, but still differences. Cloths have a smooth antistatic surface, but over time it can get dirty. The need to wash the stretch ceiling does not arise as often as with traditional finishing materials. This is especially true for paintings located in ordinary rooms, such as a living room, study, bedroom, children's room. In this case, their washing is usually combined with general cleaning of the apartment, usually once or twice a year. To keep them flawless appearance this is quite enough. More regular and thorough measures will be needed for stretch ceilings installed in the kitchen and bathroom.

In the bathroom, not only splashes of water fall on the ceiling. Young children often indulge in foam or shampoo, after such liquids have dried on tension cover ugly stains remain. In the kitchen, there is another problem caused by the cooking process. To one degree or another, grease and soot get on all surfaces. In rooms of this category, due to their specificity, pollution is more common, so you can wash stretch ceilings as needed.

When starting cleaning, you should take off your watches, bracelets and rings, that is, any items that can damage the tension surface. Ceiling cleaning is best done with specialized products recommended for a particular type of canvas. They easily cope with stains of different origin, while not leaving streaks. However, if you want to save money or you don’t have a branded product at hand, wash the stretch ceiling with a regular cleaning solution. You just need to know a few things.

In the process of washing stretch ceilings of any type, there is one important condition- It is strongly not recommended to pick up hard sponges and brushes, fleecy material. The use of such funds in best case fraught with the appearance of stains and scratches, at worst - holes. After all, even soft fibers or other elements of a cleaning tool act as abrasive particles when washing a stretch ceiling.

For cleaning, it is best to use flannel, microfiber, suede or a soft foam rubber sponge. Also, ordinary dry or wet wipes designed for wiping household appliances are well suited for cleaning ceilings.

It is strictly forbidden to wash the stretch ceiling with acid-containing and alkaline aerosols, gels, which contain solid particles. It is also not recommended to use compounds containing acetone, kerosene, any solvents. Do not try to clean the ceiling with products such as baking soda or a scouring powder designed for hard kitchen or plumbing surfaces. In combination with mechanical action, this will necessarily lead to defects in the smooth coating. Most of the products that wash mirror and glass surfaces are made on the basis of ammonia. They are perfect for both film glossy and matte ceilings.

Be careful when you wash the stretch ceiling with a previously untested product, even if there is a trademark on the label well-known manufacturer. Test it on a piece of canvas left after the installation of the coating. You can also apply a little product somewhere in an inconspicuous corner of the room before washing the stretch ceiling. Five or ten minutes is enough to evaluate the result of the action. If after such an experiment wrinkles appeared on the coating, the color changed, then this is clearly not the right remedy.

Dry cleaning of stretch ceilings

This method is used to remove dust and cobwebs. To do this, you can use a soft flannel rag and gently, effortlessly, brush off the dust, remove the cobwebs in the corners of the structure. Many manufacturers recommend performing these manipulations with a vacuum cleaner. If you are the owner of just such a ceiling, use a smooth, wide lint-free nozzle. Suction power should be reduced to a minimum.

If your vacuum cleaner is not equipped with such a nozzle or it does not have traction control, clean the ceiling while holding the device at a safe distance from the canvas. These measures will protect the fabric or film web from damage, since the nozzle, due to adhesion to a thin surface, can draw the coating inward. Please note: this method is used only when the stretch ceilings are qualitatively stretched and fixed. A good alternative to a vacuum cleaner is a modern hand mop equipped with a soft base. For reinsurance, it can also be wrapped with a soft cloth.

Wet cleaning of stretch ceilings

When performing wet “procedures” with the ceiling, a certain sequence should be followed. In lightly warm water dissolve the detergent to a light foam. Soak in this solution soft tissue or a sponge and wring out well, they should be only slightly damp, but not wet. Without strong pressure, treat the surface of the ceiling with gentle movements. Then moisten a rag or sponge in clean water and gently remove any remaining detergent from the cloth without pressure.

At the end of wet cleaning, wipe the surface with a completely dry soft cloth. During any manipulations with the ceiling, do not allow contact of the film or fabric material with a hard base coat surface, as this can cause scratches, cracks or even holes.

We have considered the general principles of care for stretch ceilings. Now let's take a closer look at how to wash matte and glossy film coatings.

How to wash film stretch ceilings

Gloss is always at the peak of popularity, this texture is chosen by many of our compatriots. Colorful lacquer texture visually increases the spatial volume of the room. This advantage relevant for most Russian apartment buildings. Therefore, we are often asked the question - how to wash a glossy stretch ceiling?

They perfectly absorb moisture and carefully remove all smudges left after washing the stretch ceiling.

If you find pollution, do not wait for a general cleaning. After all, it is more difficult to remove a dried or ingrained stain from both glossy and matte stretch fabrics. If not at hand special means, use dishwashing liquid, but only if it does not contain granules or abrasive particles. You can also make your own soap solution. After removing the dirt, wipe the stretch ceiling with a dry cloth, this will give the lacquer surface its original shine.

Unlike glossy coatings, matte stretch surfaces are washed and cleaned even easier, they do not leave stains after wet cleaning. Professional cleaners conducting general cleaning such canvases use water vapor. At home, matte ceilings are washed with mild detergents with a degreasing effect. Completes wet cleaning wiping tension surface dry napkin.

1. It is not recommended to apply excessive pressure to the fabric surface.
