Frequently Asked Questions

Our decals are not designed to be moved multiple times. Although it is generally possible to peel off the decal and stick it up again, it is not recommended. Since each time the decal is removed the glue will weaken slightly, and may not stick as well the next time.

Our decals have a strong self adhesive backing. They stick well to most smooth, dry surfaces. Please see our wall decal compatibility guide here for more detailed information.

Installing our decals is super easy. Please see our full decal installation guide page here.

We know that some magnetic tiles stick well to our decals. Stronger one like Playmags work well, but not all.

Generally speaking lighter and stronger magnets work best. And of course, we have tested all of the magnetic accessories that we sell to ensure they work with our decals.

If a magnetic item is very light (like a magnetic alphabet letter) then these work well. Most fridge style magnets work well.

However if a magnet is too weak, it will not stick to the decals. We are aware that some magnetic tile toys work, and some don't, depending on the strength of their magnets.

Our washable crayons work wonderfully well with our decals, allowing endless creativity. To remove, simply wipe away with baby wipes or a damp cloth.

Please be aware that not all pens, pencils or markers are wipe clean with the decals, and some markers may stain or permanently mark the decal.

Chalks are generally safe, but many other pens and markers will not wipe off. If you are unsure it is always best to try drawing on a very small area and see if it will wipe off.

We always advise parental supervision when drawing, to avoid the drawing spreading onto unwanted areas!

To remove a decal from your wall (or other surface) it often helps to warm the area. This can loosen the adhesive. A hair dryer is often the best item for this, but we aware that the decal and surface can be damaged or become very hot if you use a hair dryer.

Peel the decal at 45 degrees down and away from the wall. Peel slowly to avoid damage.

Wash off any adhesive residue which remains on the surface.

Occasionally some cosmetic damage may occur from their removal, such as weak paint peeling off. Often this can be fixed by simply fillering and/or sanding and repainting the affected area.
