Caring for Canvas & Framed Prints: Maintenance Tips

Investing in canvas and framed wall art brings beauty and personality into your home. To keep your pieces looking as vibrant as the day you bought them, proper care is essential. Here are some simple but effective tips to maintain your artwork and extend its lifespan.
1. Cleaning Without Damage
Dusting Canvas & Prints
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a feather duster to gently remove dust.
Avoid using rough fabrics or paper towels, as they can scratch the surface.
Cleaning Frames
For wooden frames, lightly wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth—never soak.
For metal or acrylic frames, use a soft cloth with mild soapy water, then dry immediately.
Never spray cleaning solutions directly onto the artwork; spray the cloth instead.
2. Protecting Against Sunlight & Humidity
Avoid Direct Sunlight: UV rays can fade colors over time. Place your art in areas with indirect light.
Control Humidity: Canvas and frames can warp or develop mold if exposed to damp conditions. Keep art in rooms with stable temperature and humidity levels.
Avoid Heat Sources: Do not hang art above radiators, fireplaces, or areas with fluctuating heat.
3. Preventing Dust & Dirt Build-Up
Keep windows closed during windy days to reduce dust exposure.
Regularly vacuum or clean the surrounding area to minimize airborne particles.
If storing artwork, wrap it in breathable material (not plastic) and keep it in a cool, dry place.
Final Thoughts
Caring for your canvas and framed prints doesn’t require much effort—just regular dusting, mindful placement, and a little attention to environmental factors. With proper care, your wall art will remain a timeless feature in your home for years to come.
