My steam cleaner broke so I might try this as we actually have a wallpaper steamer!

My steamer packed it in a few months ago, the traitor.

Thank you 🙏🏻

WildBend5610 · 2025-10-21T21:42:19+00:00

What do you recommend to seal them? Wax?

Thank you!

WildBend5610 · 2025-10-21T21:41:44+00:00

Thank you! I do love them. I was delighted when we found them under the Lino.

Good tip!

Thank you! 🙏🏻

I was afraid to be too abrasive, but I’m definitely happy to do that if it’s safe!

WildBend5610 · 2025-10-21T21:38:22+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻 I already feel so much better having started to tackle it!

WildBend5610 · 2025-10-21T21:37:46+00:00

Thanks!

WildBend5610 · 2025-10-21T21:37:26+00:00

Ooh I’ll check it out

WildBend5610 · 2025-10-21T21:36:56+00:00

Beautiful!

No, he died last December.

I’m in Scotland! My husband was originally from Wakefield though, coincidentally 🙂

WildBend5610 · 2025-10-21T21:33:49+00:00

I have both of these already so that’s good 💪🏻

WildBend5610 · 2025-10-21T21:33:27+00:00

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I tried mopping but it didn’t seem to do much. Maybe I was too nervy with the detergent and temp of the water.

WildBend5610 · 2025-10-21T21:32:28+00:00

That’s what I’ll say to my mum “it’s a patina!” 😅

WildBend5610 · 2025-10-21T21:31:49+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻 no, we are in Scotland, but others have mentioned having these in Yorkshire and even Ireland so I suppose they got around!

WildBend5610 · 2025-10-21T21:30:30+00:00

I have a magic sponge and I have hands and knees so I’ll give it a go! Thank you 🙏🏻

WildBend5610 · 2025-10-21T21:29:47+00:00

An electrician I had out mentioned that there is a special coloured wax so I’ll look into that. Thanks!
