{Z} cardigan installation MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Structured acoustical wallcovering, made with face fibers of polyester, will stay attractive and serviceable with regular vacuuming. Most spots and stains will disappear when treated with mild detergent or cleaning solvent. MATERIAL Carefully inspect all shipments. Check and examine material. We cannot be responsible for any imperfections after goods are cut. Before cutting, be sure the pattern and color are satisfactory. Installer assumes all responsibility for goods after cutting. No claims will be allowed for labor. All returns must have prior Return Authorization Number and are subject to a restocking charge. All requests for returns must be made within thirty (30) days of ship date. WALLS Walls are to be structurally sound and free of dirt, grease and markings. All markings which cannot easily be removed should be sealed so that bleeding through the wallcovering shall not occur. Although it is not necessary for the installation of acoustical wallfabric, sealed walls, especially on newly installed drywall, could facilitate future removal of wallcovering and lessen damage to walls. INSTALLATION Apply a premixed, heavy-duty, clear vinyl wallcovering adhesive directly to the wall, allowing it to dry overnight. Cut material to desired lengths, allowing for top and bottom trimming. This material is not factory trimmed. It is necessary for the hanger to cut a straight edge. All edges must be butt joined. Material is designed to be dry hung. Do not use a pasting machine. WALLCARPET SHOULD BE HUNG STRAIGHT UP... DO NOT ALTERNATELY REVERSE STRIPS. Apply a second coat of undiluted adhesive to the wall, allowing it to dry to its maximum tackability without it being overly dry. (IMPORTANT!!! ADHESIVE IS READY MIXED AND SHOULD BE USED AS IT COMES OUT OF THE BUCKET. DO NOT MIX WITH WATER AND DO NOT PASTE THE BACK OF THE WALLCOVERING.) Be careful not to get adhesive onto the face of the wallcovering, as it cannot readily be removed. Should adhesive get onto the face, it is best to allow it to dry and flake it off with a stiff brush. Do not attempt to wash affected areas, as this will only serve to dilute the adhesive and spread it over a wider area. Install three strips and inspect all for color, uniformity, and correctness of application. If satisfactory, proceed with work. As work proceeds, small areas (3 strips) should be inspected so that there are no more than 3 strips in question at any time. If anything goes wrong, STOP WORK IMMEDIATELY and contact your nearest representative for inspection. All seams shall be vertical and only full widths of material should be applied for the most satisfactory installation. Headers over doors may cause shading. All seams shall be at least 6 inches away from inside or outside corners. APPEARANCE Due to the lustrous pile of this sculpted pattern, perfect seams and shading cannot be guaranteed. Needlepunch nonwoven textiles have a nap that can reflect light in different ways, based on the angle of the light source to the material. Shading is normal and part of the aesthetic beauty of the finished product. In no way are these to be considered as defects. For best results, it is recommended that a qualified textile installer be employed.
{Z} cardigan cleaning All wallcoverings are subject to soiling and wear and require a regular program of maintenance. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Vacuum with an upholstery attachment or use a soft nylon brush for removal of dry dirt and grime. Common commercial stains such as scuff marks, heel marks and soiling often can be removed completely with a dry brush. STAIN REMOVAL OR SPOT CLEANING Because polyester fiber absorbs virtually no moisture, spots and stains stay on the surface of fibers and can be easily removed. For best results, follow the steps listed below. Always treat stains promptly when possible. 1) Spots from dust and other loose particles should be removed from the fabric surface by use of a commercial vacuum. 2) Brush dry stains off with a soft nylon brush. Many times this will be all that is necessary to get a good result. 3) Blot wet stains with a clean, absorbent cloth to wipe away as much as possible. 4) If stain is not removed, use a cloth and warm water, and a soft brush if necessary, to loosen the stains. Brush in both directions working outside in and use a minimal amount of water to avoid saturation. 5) If stain is not removed with warm water, use a common detergent with warm water, brush if necessary. Avoid saturation. Rinse with warm water and blot the area dry with a clean, dry cloth to prevent resoiling. * Most stains, such as coffee, cola, ketchup, mustard, washable ink, carbon black, etc. can be removed 100% by utilizing either step four (4) or five (5). 6) If stain is still not removed, most likely it is an oil-based stain. Some examples are: permanent ink marker, shoe polish, lipstick, hair dye, paint (oil), make-up, furniture polish, nail polish, etc. Commercially available cleaning solvents or even a strong bleach solution may be used to loosen the stains from the surface of the fiber. Again, apply with clean cloth or soft brush (possibly diluting with water); use sparingly to avoid saturation to the wall. Rinse with water and blot the area dry. Note: With solution-dyed fiber, bleach and other harsh cleansers will not affect the fiber s color or performance. 7) Any of the aforementioned steps may be repeated as often as necessary for complete removal of stains. It is permissible to use the hot water extraction method of stain removal on this wallcovering. This method will give an excellent result. This information is presented as a guide to the care and maintenance of this wallcovering. It is based on the best information available at the present time and is subject to revision as additional knowledge and experience becomes available. No guarantee of results and no responsibility is assumed whatsoever in connection with this information.

The brittle substance can then be picked off the wallcovering. Follow with a solvent cleaner as needed. Pilling or fraying from excessive abrasion can be removed by shaving with a standard, very sharp shaving razor.
