Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I apply wall stickers?
Wall Stickers work on any smooth, dry and clean surface: walls, mirrors, refrigerators, laptop covers, tiles, glass, lockers, furniture, accessories, etc... Even automotive surfaces!
Painted wall tips
- Prior to applying onto painted walls: clean wall and make sure it is dry
- Newly painted walls: it is recommended to let the paint “cure” for 10 to 15 days prior to applying Wall Stickers. Even if new paint feels dry, it may still need to settle and completely cure.
- Not recommended on “Orange Peel” textured walls
- Wall Stickers will not work over cinder blocks or very textured and porous surfaces.
- Not recommended over textured wallpaper or delicate surfaces, test in an inconspicuous area before application.
Bathroom tips
- Wall Stickers can be applied onto tiles as long as surface is clean and completely dry during installation. Make sure the design element does not overlap grout area as water could filter under and compromise the adhesive.
- Wall Stickers can be applied onto shower walls, as long as they are placed tightly onto the surface so water cannot reach under the design element. Once applied, Wall Stickers will not move even if sprayed by shower.
DO NOT!
- Place Wall Stickers-decorated items in dishwasher or microwave.
- Place Wall Stickers over rugs, fabrics and any other textiles. Textile fibers may stick to the adhesive and ruin the product.
- Do not place at the bottom or inside the tub. Water could filter beneath the design element too easily and would compromise the adhesive.
NOTE: In all applications, it is always best to test Wall Stickers in an inconspicuous area. If the surface is textured, performance could be seriously diminished. Make sure surface is clean of dust and dirt or you may compromise the adhesive and ruin the product.
Will wall stickers leave a sticky residue?
Wall Stickers use a specially formulated adhesive that never migrates onto the surface and therefore leaves no marks and no residue. Beware of cheaper products that use acrylic adhesives!
My item did not stick! What went wrong?
Please carefully read the Where Can I Apply Wall Stickers section prior to installation to see if all criteria are met.
How do I remove air bubbles?
When applying, make sure you start from one side (for the border) or the top (for the appliqués) of each element. Keep the rest of the element away from the wall/surface. Slowly go down over the design with your hand and smooth the element onto surface (and press the bubbles out as you go). Once applied you should be able to move any remaining bubbles out by pressing/smoothing them out of the element. If the problem persists (this would only happen with the giant appliqués), you can punch a tiny (invisible to the eye) hole with a pin to push the air out.
Can I re-use wall stickers months later?
Even years! Simply replace the design elements onto the liner/backer and keep your Wall Stickers in a dust free and room temperature environment. You can reapply them for the next season. Or better yet - check out the new designs! Decorating with Wall Stickers is so easy and affordable that you can change your décor as often as you wish!
