Quite high scratch resistance will preserve the coating for a very long time. The desire to scrub the wall disappears after the first attempt. However, although these papers are written as moisture resistant, but still for washing (like washable wallpaper), they are not intended. And if, for some reason, you have stained the wallpaper or otherwise damaged the wall, you will have to cut out this spoiled slice and, once again dissolving the liquid wallpaper in the water, cover it with the same technology as they were applied to the wall. This, in principle, can simultaneously be considered an advantage. Plaster, even if it looks rough (there are smooth, but with transitions of color), will not cause the desire to sharpen the claws, because it brings to the touch the impression of the stone.
