Most people appreciate a clean and tidy interior, with clean tables and clean Herringbone Rigid Click Vinyl floors. However, it’s also important to remember to keep everything else clean. In this blog post, you will learn about cleaning Akupanel XL wall panels. So grab your gloves and get ready to clean! If you don’t have Floer Akupanel in your home yet, read on to discover the advantages of wall panels in your home.

Why is cleaning important?

Floer Akupanel Wall Panels not only have a beautiful design, but also a sound-absorbing function. However, like Whalebone Vinyl floors, acoustic panels can get dirty over time. If the large wall panels become dirty, it can negatively affect their sound-absorbing function. Therefore, it is always important to clean them regularly to maintain their effectiveness.

What is needed when cleaning wall panels?

  1. Duster or vacuum cleaner
  2. A bucket
  3. Lukewarm water
  4. A cloth

The biggest issue when it comes to keeping wall panels clean is dust. We’ve all experienced the frustration of looking at something for the first time in a while only to find a thick cloud of dust has gathered on it. While we can’t stop dust from forming, we can certainly reduce it. By regularly using a duster or vacuum, you can prevent large accumulations of dust from building up on your acoustic wall panels.

We recommend using a vacuum cleaner and a duster to remove most of the dust particles. If you can’t reach certain areas with the vacuum, use a duster to clean those difficult spots. If you’re already vacuuming the XL panels, you can also run the vacuum over your Herringbone Oak Parquet floor to save time. Use a soft, natural hair attachment when vacuuming to avoid damaging the wooden wall panels.

Cleaning with water

Do you want to give your Akupanel wall panels a shiny look? All you need is a bucket, some water, and a cloth! Make sure to wring out the cloth well to remove most of the water, as the panels are partly made of wood and can absorb water. While having a realistic, extra-large wooden wall panel on the wall is nice, it may not be practical to have the literal feel of a tropical rainforest in your home. If you’re looking to add a natural look to your home, check out the wide vinyl floors from the Forest collection. These dryback vinyl floors are over 24 cm wide and can help achieve the look you’re after.

Did you know that the vinyl floors in the Village and Forest Vinyl collections are 100% waterproof? All dryback vinyl floors, including the popular Herringbone Vinyl, are watertight, so it doesn’t matter if you spill water on them. If you prefer a wooden floor but still want a water-resistant option, consider laminate floors like City Laminate. These floors are waterproof up to the groove, meaning that small puddles can sit on them for about 4 hours without affecting the floorboards.

What should you avoid using when cleaning Akupanel?

Knowing what to do is important, but knowing what not to do is equally important. Akupanels are wooden panels designed to be hung on the wall or ceiling, and therefore they don’t get as dirty as for example wide laminate floors. Assuming that you have placed the wooden wall panels on the wall, cleaning them is easy. Simply use a lukewarm wrung-out cloth to wipe them down, as mentioned above.

When cleaning extra-large wooden wall panels, avoid using cleaning agents such as all-purpose cleaners or products containing abrasives. These chemicals and abrasives can cause irreparable damage to the panels, and in the worst cases, can even cause colour differences and dull spots. Nobody wants that kind of trouble!
