On this page you’ll find answers to frequently asked questions about Instant Wall Decor. If there’s something you’re looking for, you’ll find it here!
What are Instant Wall Decor products made of?
Instant Wall Decor products are made of a thin, flexible vinyl material. They are extremely durable and made to last for years, but are still flexible enough to be applied to a variety of surfaces.
Are Instant Wall Decor products safe for kids?
Absolutely. Instant Wall Decor products do not contain harmful chemicals like phthalates or lead. They are 100% non-toxic and fully CPSIA-compliant. You can feel safe with Instant Wall Decor in your home.
Will Instant Wall Decor remove paint from my walls?
We've designed Instant Wall Decor to be completely safe for your walls, which means that they will not peel the paint, or damage other surfaces like sealed wood, plastic, or metal. However, we don't recommend applying Instant Wall Decor to freshly painted walls! Doing so could lead to some big problems. Check out our Decorating Tips for more information on how and when to apply your Instant Wall Decor, and how to be absolutely sure they won't peel away the paint.
Will Instant Wall Decor stick to textured walls?
Although we only recommend using Instant Wall Decor on smooth, flat surfaces, our customers do occasionally report success with textured walls or ceilings. The less texture that is present on the walls and under the surface of the decal(s), the better.
My Instant Wall Decor products don’t stick! What happened?
Be sure that the walls or surfaces you are using are clean, dry, and haven't been freshly painted or otherwise sealed. If your decals aren't sticking, try wiping down the wall or surface with a dry cloth, then try again.
If your decals are still falling off the wall, and you feel that you followed the instructions correctly, let us know and we'll help you out.
Can I clean my Instant Wall Decor?
If dirty, Instant Wall Decor can be wiped clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Take care not to get the adhesive backing wet, as the water can decrease the stickiness of your Instant Wall Decor product. For splatters or stains, you can use some mild soap (like hand or dish soap) if necessary. However, please avoid spraying any other chemicals (like glass cleaner) on your Instant Wall Decor! This can damage the vinyl and sometimes even cause the colors to run.
How do I save Instant Wall Decor decals after I've taken them off the walls?
We recommend placing removed wall decals on the original liners, but we've found that wax paper works just as well.
What's the difference between the ‘clear’ and ‘opaque’ materials listed on some of your products?
Instant Wall Decor products are printed on two types of backing: clear (or semi-transparent), and opaque (or white). Decals printed on clear material are often softer, more subtle designs that are meant to blend in with the wall. Designs printed on opaque material will usually look less like stencils, and will ‘pop’ off the wall.
If you're picking a design printed on clear backing, keep in mind that these products are usually semi-transparent. If your walls are white, or another lighter color (like baby blue, yellow, or pink), you probably won't have a problem. However, if your walls are painted black or another dark color, you may find that the decals don't show up clearly. In that case, it's better to look for a design that is printed on opaque material, as they are suitable for walls of any color.
Why do my Instant Wall Decor decals smell?
Occasionally, when you open a package of our wall decals, you may detect a slight "vinyl" smell. This odor is left over from the printing process, and will fade very quickly. Relax - it's not harmful! The smell will usually go away in a matter of minutes, but you can always speed up the process by placing the sheets outdoors in the fresh air, or in a well-ventilated room.
