Clean the wall on which the wallpaper will be placed
For a successful pose, Your walls must be clean, dry, intact, smooth and uniform. For new walls (plaster, Placoplâtre, wood), please apply a primer the day before to make it easier to hang the wallpaper. For walls covered with matte paint, please use the detergent Renovocai for cleaning. Let your walls dry for about 24 hours before applying the glue.
For walls painted with gloss or satin paint, sand them first. You can then apply an undercoat which will be the last step in preparing your wall.
