Salt deposit on wall Anonymous 2016-01-26 08:11:56 Post No. 936240 [Report]

I am selling marine (salt water) aquarium. It has build in return pipe in right corner. When I started I run it for few month without any lid till I noticed salt deposit on Wall just behind return pipe. In other words watter was splashing slightly on wall and that caused salt to build up on top of wallpaper.

I can not check level of damage at the moment as tank holds around 550 liters of water.

Any ideas how I could remove salt from wallpaper without damaging it?

Not really. Salt is not only on top of wallpaper but penetrated it. To much water is taking colour of wallpaper. Checked that in another not visible area

You will need to replace the wall paper. The amount of water treatment it would take to remove embedded salt will normally ruin the wallpaper. If there is drywall behind the wallpaper that will also be ruined and need replacing. Thus, replacing just the wallpaper is the best course of action.

Use something that would ionize to the salt and leave a far easier chemical to clean up?

NaCl is hard to ionize.. Just buy new wallpaper
