Enhance the beauty and longevity of your artwork with our easy maintenance tips. Over time, canvas' can accumulate dust, here's how to keep it looking fresh.
Basic Cleaning:
Use a feather duster or soft cloth to gently remove dust. Microfibre cloths work best, avoiding any scrubbing or rough brushes to prevent scratches. For stubborn dust, a slightly damp (not wet) cloth can help. Use gentle pressure to avoid damage.
Spill and Stain Removal:
For spills, attend to them as quick as possible. Use a microfibre cloth or paper towel to mop up residue, then gently wipe over with a damp microfibre cloth. Pat dry with a clean towel and let the canvas dry away from direct sunlight.
To protect your canvas from environmental hazards:
Avoid Direct Sunlight. UV rays can cause fading and weaken the fabric, leading to unlikely but potential cracks.
Humidity and Environment Control:
High humidity can cause mould and mildew, so keep your art away from moisture-rich areas like bathrooms that have showers near by (WC are usually fine) and close to cooking areas in the kitchen.
Secure Mounting:
Use appropriate hardware to ensure your art stays securely in place. Check the weight bearing of hooks and nails that you use to mount your piece.
