To properly clean and care for your framed photo prints and ensure they remain in excellent condition for years, follow these recommended practices from Supreme Pictures:
Cleaning Techniques
- Use a Microfiber Cloth: For both glass and acrylic glazing, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface. This removes dust and lint without leaving behind scratches or debris.
- Avoid Direct Spraying: Never spray liquid cleaners directly onto the frame or glazing. If the surface requires more than a dry wipe, lightly dampen the cloth with water first.
- Frame Maintenance: Dust the frame moulding with a soft brush, following the direction of the wood grain to preserve the finish.
- Protect the Mat: Keep all liquid cleaners away from the paper mat and the frame itself to prevent moisture damage or discoloration.
Placement and Environment Tips
- Avoid Sunlight: Hang your prints away from direct sunlight to prevent the image from fading over time.
- Control Humidity: Avoid placing framed art in areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens.
- Rotate Displays: Consider rotating your prints seasonally. This refreshes your decor and reduces the amount of prolonged light exposure any single piece receives.
