2. Clean the wall

If there is fine white powder on the wall, it means that the salt in the wall is precipitated. At this time, it is suggested that you can brush it with nylon brush or iron brush. After a few days of observation, it is confirmed that there is no white powder precipitated, and the cement wall can be painted after it is dry and polished. If the white powder on the surface of the cement wall is more and continuously precipitated, after cleaning it, a layer of wall primer can be applied to prevent salt erosion in the future. Also do not use oily paint or waterproof wallpaper to brush or decorate within three months.

5. Finish the surface

If the surface of the wall is trimmed with a soil knife, some walls will appear stains, cracks, blisters and other phenomena, which should be dealt with in time.

6. Apply primer

The function of the wall primer is to seal the base material, resist alkali and moisture, protect the topcoat, and improve the texture and covering power of the topcoat. For the decoration of old houses, the wall must be primed. If it is painted directly, the wall is more likely to blister and mildew, and it is easier to change color after a long time in the sun.

• Flexible processing. The flexibility of wallpaper is an old and difficult problem, and the solution is to start with prevention. On the one hand, an overlap of 0.5mm must be reserved. Some people cancel this overlap in pursuit of aesthetics, which is inappropriate. In addition, try to buy some more flexible wallpaper.

9. Tiling

• Tile is a big project in decoration. Tiles are mostly used in kitchen, toilet, balcony and other places. The biggest advantage of tile decoration may be dirt resistance.
• One of the main problems in tile decoration is the treatment of the waterproof layer. Because in some places of the kitchen and bathroom, most of them have water problems. So the waterproof of the wall should be paid more attention. New houses that are not waterproof or old houses that need to replace tiles need to be re-waterproof.
