4 Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Plastered Walls Looking New

Plastered walls enhance your home with a timeless beauty, personalizing your space with textured, decorative finishes. However, like anything else in your house, these walls require proper care and maintenance to last. Fortunately, Worldgate Plaster & Stucco Company is your expert source for plaster wall repair and restoration needs. In this article, we’ll provide four maintenance tips for your plastered walls to help them retain their beauty and condition for as long as possible.

1. Clean Plaster Regularly

Over time, your plaster walls can start to look dull from dust and dirt buildup. Wipe your walls regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent this accumulation and maintain a clean look. You can also use a damp cloth with a mild soap to clean any marks off the walls as necessary.

2. Address Cracks Promptly

Various circumstances can result in cracking plaster, such as temperature changes, foundation settling, chimney movement, and environmental stresses. If your walls sustain any cracks, they must be repaired immediately by a trained professional.

3. Prevent Moisture Damage

Plastered walls must be protected from moisture, which can cause discoloration, peeling, or structural damage. Ensure your home is well-ventilated in high-moisture areas like your bathroom, and regularly inspect for any signs of leaks to help prevent moisture damage.

4. Utilize Professional Services

You should only trust a trained professional when your plaster needs to be repaired or restored.
