How to Fix Drip Marks on Dark Wallpaper

Dark wallpaper adds a striking touch to a traditionally furnished room or a room designed after the Victorian aesthetic, but drips of water and wallpaper paste can ruin the look.

To maintain the look of your dark wallpaper and to keep it looking as good as it did the day it was hung, clean it thoroughly and appropriately using the correct methods.
