See the finish in detail.
What should you check first?
Keep the product name, colour code and gloss level of the final layer. Decorative plaster or decorative system also includes information about grain, build-up and protection. These data make it easier to choose an appropriate treatment or repair later.
How does this affect your choice?
Clean according to the instructions of the product. A strong agent or hard sanding material can change the appearance. Try a suitable treatment first in an unobtrusive place when product advice allows. New layers may also have other waiting times for cleaning.
Planning the next step
Have damage assessed before you update large areas. A loose layer or moisture site requires a different approach than superficial impact damage. Local repair can remain visible; discuss when re-finishing a larger surface is more practical.
Practical checklist

More advice for your project
Tune clean on the visible end layer
A painted wall does not automatically require the same maintenance as a decorative plaster. Therefore, keep data from the final finishing. Test an allowed cleaning method first in a discreet place and avoid any aggressive agent.
