Please note: Fabric decals are not removable so please take extra care that they are accurately positioned before applying.
These decals can be challening to apply. If you are not confident applying wallpaper we suggest you consider opting for smaller decals.
Surface Type & Preparation:
- A smooth, clean, dry painted surface is best.
- You must clean the walls with a mild cleaning product to remove dust and oils. Sugar Soap or even dish detergent are options.
- Ensure there is no cleaning residue on the walls by thoroughly wiping them with a clean damp cloth.
- Leave for 1-2 hours to ensure no moisture is left on the wall.
- We recommend flattening the product before sticking it to the wall for ease of application and to create a wrinkle-free finish.
Freshly Painted Walls:
DO NOT apply to a newly painted wall!
- A freshly painted wall needs time to cure before applying decals.
- Most newly painted walls need 8+ weeks to cure.
- Follow the paint manufacturers recommendation for how long their product takes to cure and remember that the thickness and number of coats of paint, as well as the temperature and humidity levels, will affect this process.
- Decals will not stick to a freshly painted wall.
- We suggest if the wall has been painted in the last 3 months that you test it first by using some of the excess from around the outside of the decal. Apply a section to the wall in an unobtrusive spot and leave it 48 hours, if it has not lifted or peeled off the wall then your wall has cured enough to apply the decal.
Wallpaper:
They are not recommended to be used on wallpaper.
If you have a smooth paper finish wallpaper the decals should stick but this has not been tested.
Decals will most likely not stick to shiny or textured wallpapers.
Application Instructions:
To safely transport them decals come tightly rolled. We recommend flattening the product before sticking it to the wall for ease of application and to create a wrinkle-free finish.
- Plan out your design.
- Have at least one other person on hand to assist, these decals can be challenging to apply.
- Follow the steps below to apply your design.
- Take your time and don't rush. Ensure that all air bubbles and creases are removed as you go as you will not be able to go back and remove them later. A soft cloth can help with this in addition to the plastic scraper.
- If there is an air bubble, carefully prick it and smooth the air out with a plastic scraper.
- Excessive rubbing of design can remove the colour.
Please note: Fabric decals are not designed to be easily removed so please take extra care that they are accurately positioned before applying.
Please be aware that these decals are large and challenging to apply. We are not responsible if your decal or wall is damaged during application.
If you have any questions please contact us.
Removal Instructions
When removing decals do it slowly and gently and please take your time and be patient and you should be able to remove with minimal issues or marks to the wall*.
- Get a hairdryer and set to a low heat. Beginning at the edge of the decal, point your hairdryer at the wall holding it about 10-20cm away from the decal. Once the decal feels warm to the touch turn off the dryer.
- Do not allow the decal to get too hot or the glue will melt making removal harder and leaving residue on the wall.
- Carefully get under an edge with your nail or a plastic scraper and peel the sticker back on itself. Don't attempt to pull up.
- If there is resistance and the decal is not easily coming off re-apply the heat source and repeat the first step.
- If there is residue wipe with a damp cloth or mild cleaning product.
- Eucalyptus oil or solvent can be used to remove any residue that will not come off with the above method. NOTE: Anything used on a wall should be tested in an inconspicuous place first.
*We do not guarantee they will not damage the surface when removed and take no responsibility if the wall surface is damaged.
