Vinyl and coated vinyl wallcoverings are popular because they're easy to clean or repair; but other types such as grasscloth and flocked wallpaper require special handling.

Loosened seams and bubbles are common wall covering problems as well as scratches, tears or stains.

Whatever the repair needed, it's a good idea to save remnants to have on hand for repairs. It's also a good idea to record the name of the manufacturer as well as the style of the wall covering.
