What is included
Wallpaper fixing for homes, offices and shops, with walls prepared, patterns matched and seams closed by our own decorators. Wallpaper fails in Dubai when it is hung on dusty, unprimed or damp walls, or when the AC is off for the summer and humidity lifts the seams. We check the wall for moisture, repair and prime it, then hang the paper with the adhesive its manufacturer specifies.
- Paper type identified and a cleaning test done behind furniture or a door
- Loose dust lifted with a soft brush vacuum from top to bottom
- Dry sponge used on uncoated paper, damp microfibre on washable vinyl
- Marks, scuffs and fingerprints treated one by one, seams kept dry
How we carry out wallpaper cleaning
Wallpaper cleaning starts with knowing what is on the wall. Washable vinyl takes a damp wipe. Uncoated paper, grasscloth and flocked papers do not, because water stains them, lifts the print or loosens the paste at the seams. The supervisor checks the type, often from a spare roll if one was kept, and tests the method on a patch hidden behind a wardrobe or a door. In Dubai homes the dust is fine and turns greasy near kitchens, and fingerprints gather around light switches, door frames and stair walls.
Loose dust comes off first with a vacuum fitted with a soft brush, working from the cornice down so nothing falls on cleaned paper. On paper and textured finishes a dry chemical sponge lifts the grey film without water. Vinyl is wiped with microfibre barely damp with a mild, pH neutral solution and dried straight away with a second cloth. Seams and edges are kept as dry as possible, since water drawn into a seam is what makes paper lift. Stains that resist a gentle method are left and shown to you.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey, colour and written scope. We measure, test the existing coating and agree colours, sheen and the number of coats. The written quotation names the paint system and the scope.
- Protection. Furniture is moved and wrapped, floors are covered edge to edge, and switches, handles and light fittings are masked or removed.
- Surface preparation. Walls are washed, flaking paint is scraped back, cracks are opened and filled, and everything is sanded flat. Damp or salt affected areas are treated before any paint goes on.
- Primer and finish coats. A sealer or primer suited to the substrate is followed by two finish coats. Wet film thickness is checked on every coat.
- Snagging and handover. We inspect in daylight with you, touch up, clean down and hand over a paint schedule listing brand, colour codes and batch numbers for future touch ups.

Wallpaper Cleaning in Como Residences: what we plan for
This is one of the Palm's waterfront apartment residences, with large glazed balconies facing the sea. In an apartment building we submit the work permit, book the service lift and bring compact equipment that fits it.
Exterior paint on the Palm chalks and fades quickly, and metal railings and gates corrode. We wash off salt, treat rust, use alkali resistant primer and apply an exterior system rated for coastal exposure. Inside, we use washable low odour finishes and treat any mould staining with a blocking primer first.
Each frond has its own security gate where contractors are registered against the villa number. Apartment buildings require a work permit from building management and a service lift booking. Exterior work on villas needs approval from the master developer.

Questions about wallpaper cleaning in Como Residences
What does wallpaper cleaning include?
Vinyl, paper and textured wallpapers cleaned by type: dry sponging for paper, a damp microfibre wipe for vinyl, and spot work on marks, all tested first on a hidden area. The work includes paper type identified and a cleaning test done behind furniture or a door; loose dust lifted with a soft brush vacuum from top to bottom; dry sponge used on uncoated paper, damp microfibre on washable vinyl.
Can all wallpaper be wiped with a damp cloth?
No. Washable vinyl can, but plain paper, grasscloth, flock and many designer papers mark or lift with water. We identify the paper and test the method on a hidden patch before cleaning the main walls.
Will cleaning remove a stain on the wallpaper?
Light marks, dust film and fingerprints usually lift. Ink, grease absorbed into paper and water staining often do not, and scrubbing them damages the surface. We try the gentlest method, and if a stain stays we show you the options, which can include a patch repair.
How much does wallpaper cleaning cost in Como Residences, Palm Jumeirah?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: wall and ceiling area and ceiling height; condition of the surface and how much repair is needed. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides wallpaper cleaning in Como Residences, Palm Jumeirah?
The MELLS provides wallpaper cleaning in Como Residences, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 55 444 0084.
How long does wallpaper cleaning take?
Typically 2 to 4 hours for a feature wall and 1 to 2 days for several rooms. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Can old wallpaper be removed without damaging the wall?
In most cases. We soften the adhesive with steam or a stripping solution and lift the paper in sections. Where the wall was never primed, some skim can come away with it, and we make that good before the next finish.
Do you offer wallpaper fixing in Como Residences, Palm Jumeirah?
Yes. Our decorators hang wallpaper in villas, apartments, offices and shops across Dubai. Book a site visit and we measure the walls and check their condition first.
Can wallpaper go over a painted wall?
Yes, if the paint is sound, clean and matt. Glossy or flaking paint is sanded or stripped and the wall is primed, because paper only holds as well as the surface beneath it.
Do you arrange the building permit in Como Residences, Palm Jumeirah?
Yes. Most buildings ask contractors for a work permit, trade licence, insurance and staff IDs, and a service lift booking. We submit all of it for you.
Do we need Nakheel approval for work in Palm Jumeirah?
Cleaning, AC servicing and repairs inside the home only need the gate or building pass, which the resident arranges. Exterior painting, waterproofing, fit out and any change to the facade, roof or garden structures need a no objection certificate from Nakheel or the community management in Palm Jumeirah before work starts. We prepare the method statement, drawings, insurance and trade licence documents the approval asks for.
How do I choose a company for wallpaper cleaning in Como Residences, Palm Jumeirah?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (wet film thickness checked on every coat and an adhesion test at handover) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
Can you come to Como Residences, Palm Jumeirah at short notice?
Yes. Crews travel from our Barsha Heights base, and urgent work in Dubai is attended within two hours between 08:00 and 19:00, Monday to Saturday.
