While it's not always too expensive to change wallpapers, it's still best to keep them nice and clean, so you don't have to change them.
Sometimes wallpaper can fade in the sun, but it can also get darker.
Let's find out, why, so you don't have to change them.
Sunlight exposure
Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can break down the pigments and dyes in the wallpaper, resulting in a loss of color intensity.
This effect is particularly noticeable in wallpapers that are exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as those near windows or in rooms with ample natural light.
Moisture and humidity
Moisture can seep into the wallpaper material, leading to discoloration or the growth of mold and mildew.
This can result in the wallpaper appearing darker and discolored, particularly in areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms or kitchens.
Dust and dirt accumulation
Over time, dust, dirt, and other airborne particles can settle on the surface of wallpapers.
This layer of debris can obscure the original color and make the wallpaper appear darker.
Aging and wear
The aging process can cause the wallpaper's colors to fade or change, making them appear darker.
Cleaning methods
Harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive scrubbing can damage the wallpaper's surface and cause it to darken or lose its original color vibrancy.
