General Care & Handling:

• Keep it clean: Wash your hands before handling the print, and consider using gloves for added protection. Skin oils can transfer and damage the surface of the print. Hold the print by the edges and avoid touching the printed surface directly.

• Minimize exposure to sunlight: Direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Hang your print in a location with indirect light or UV-protective glass.

• Maintain a stable environment: Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity, such as in bathrooms and kitchens, or near heat sources like fireplaces or radiators. Excessive fluctuations in temperature and humidity can cause warping or cracking of your print. Ideally, keep your print in a climate-controlled space.

• Storage: If not displaying, store your print in a cool, dry place in its original packaging or a protective acid-free sleeve.

 

Fine Art Prints:

• Cleaning: For light dust, use a soft, dry microfibre cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as they can damage the print.

• Framing is recommended: Framing protects your print from dust, moisture, and light damage. Use a reputable framer who can provide acid-free mats and UV-protective glass.

 

Canvas Prints:

• Dust gently: Use a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust periodically. You can also use a slightly damp cloth, but ensure it's barely moist and wrung out thoroughly. Avoid using excessive water or cleaning solutions directly on the canvas.

• Spills: If you accidentally spill something on your canvas print, blot up the liquid immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. Seek professional cleaning services for stubborn stains.

 

By following these simple guidelines, you can ensure your beautiful prints retain their vibrancy and become cherished pieces in your home for years to come. If you have any further questions about caring for your print, please don't hesitate to contact us!
