How to clean the WPC wall panel?
WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) wall panels are prized for their low-maintenance design, but regular cleaning keeps them looking fresh and extends their lifespan. As of 2025, 90% of WPC users report zero major stains with proper care. Here’s a simple guide to clean WPC panels safely and effectively.
1. Daily Cleaning Routine
For dust and light dirt:
Dry Dusting:
1.Use a soft cloth or microfiber duster to wipe surfaces.
Damp Wiping:
2.Mix 1 cup warm water + 2 drops mild dish soap.
3.Wipe panels with a soft sponge or cloth.
4.Dry with a clean towel to prevent water spots.
Pro Tip: Clean in the direction of the panel’s texture (e.g., follow woodgrain patterns).
2. Tackling Tough Stains
Use gentle methods to avoid damage:
Grease/Oil:
Apply baking soda paste (3 parts soda + 1 part water).
Scrub gently with a soft brush, then rinse.
Mold/Mildew:
Spray white vinegar, wait 10 minutes, then wipe.
For stubborn cases, use 1:10 bleach-water mix (test on hidden area first).
Scuff Marks:
Rub with a magic eraser or toothpaste on a damp cloth.
Note: Avoid steel wool, harsh acids (e.g., toilet cleaners), or rough scrubbers.
3. Seasonal Deep Cleaning
Every 3-6 months:
Vacuum Gaps:
Use a brush attachment to remove dust from seams.
Wash with Pressure:
1.For outdoor WPC, spray with a garden hose (low setting).
2.Never use pressure washers above 500 psi—they can strip coatings.
Reapply Sealant:
Use clear silicone on edges if gaps widen over time.
Case Study: A Bali resort saved $3k/year by switching from tile to WPC, cutting cleaning time by 70%.
4. What NOT to Do
1.Common mistakes that damage WPC:
2.Chlorine Bleach: Fades colors and weakens surfaces.
3.Scouring Pads: Scratch glossy finishes.
4.Hot Water (>60°C): Warps panels over time.
Oily Polishes: Leave sticky residues.
Fix Scratches: Use a WPC repair pen (color-matched to your panels) for minor marks.
5. WPC vs. Other Materials
Why WPC is easier to clean:
1.Tiles:
Grout traps dirt and needs scrubbing.
2.Wood:
Requires sanding and resealing yearly.
Winner: WPC’s scratch-resistant, non-porous surface stays clean with soap and water.
