Here is the secret to keeping your walls looking brand new for decades.
One of the primary reasons homeowners and architects choose WPC Wall Panels is their "low maintenance" reputation. Unlike real wood, they don't need annual staining, varnishing, or sealing.
However, "low maintenance" does not mean "no maintenance." Dust, accidental spills, and minor scratches can happen in any active household. This guide outlines the simple, professional steps to care for your Jinbao WPC Wall Panels, ensuring they remain the highlight of your interior design for years.
To keep the best appearance of your panels, a simple routine is all you need.
The Method: Use a microfiber cloth, a feather duster, or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
Why: Dust accumulation in the grooves of fluted panels can attract moisture and look unsightly. Regular dusting prevents this buildup.
The Solution: Mix mild dish soap with lukewarm water.
The Tool: Use a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbing pads (like steel wool) for general cleaning, as they can dull the surface gloss.
The Technique: Wipe gently in the direction of the panel's grain or flutes. Rinse with a damp cloth to remove soap residue.
Warning: Never use harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, or highly acidic cleaners. These can damage the protective polymer layer of the WPC.
Preventative care is better than cure. Here is how to protect the structural integrity of your panels.
While high-quality Exterior WPC Panels are UV resistant, consistent exposure to harsh, direct sunlight over 10+ years can cause slight fading.
Tip: For indoor panels near large windows, use curtains or UV-filtering window films to diffuse direct sunlight during peak hours.
WPC is waterproof, but the dust on it is not. In high-humidity areas like bathrooms:
Tip: Ensure proper ventilation. Stagnant moist air can cause mold to grow on surface dust. A quick wipe-down after a steamy shower keeps the panels pristine.
WPC is durable, but sharp objects can scratch it.
Tip: Be careful when moving heavy furniture against the walls. Consider using door stops to prevent handles from banging into the panels.
Accidents happen. Here is how to fix them without calling a professional.
Issue | Solution | Tools Needed |
Surface Scratches | Gently sand the area with fine-grit sandpaper (for solid color panels) or use a matching wax filler stick. | Sandpaper (400 grit) / Wax Stick |
Oil/Grease Stains | Clean immediately with a degreasing agent (like isopropyl alcohol) diluted in water. Rinse well. | Alcohol / Soft Cloth |
Ink/Marker Marks | Use a specialized PVC cleaner or a "Magic Eraser" sponge. Test on a hidden area first. | Magic Eraser |
Stubborn Dirt | Use a soft-bristle brush (like a toothbrush) to clean deep into the textured grain. | Soft Brush |
For severe damage, individual panels from our WPC Wall Panel Collection can often be replaced without removing the entire wall.
The beauty of WPC Wall Panels lies in their resilience. With just a little attention—dusting, gentle washing, and avoiding harsh chemicals—your walls will look as stunning in ten years as they do today.

A: It is not recommended to use high-pressure washers, as the force can damage the surface texture. If you must, use a low-pressure setting (under 1500 PSI) and keep the nozzle at least 30cm away from the panel.
A: No. WPC panels come pre-finished and do not require painting, staining, or sealing. This is one of their biggest advantages over natural wood.
A: For deeper scratches, you can use a wood filler or wax stick that matches the color of your panel. Fill the scratch, smooth it out, and let it dry.
A: No. WPC is 100% waterproof and will not rot, swell, or warp from water exposure, making frequent cleaning perfectly safe.
