Maintaining and caring for these wall art products involves several best practices to ensure they remain in pristine condition and continue to bring aesthetic joy to your space. Firstly, it’s important to place artworks in areas where they are not exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause fading and deterioration of colours, especially for pieces like the Framed Canvas Surf Wash that may have vibrant hues.
Regular dusting is essential to keep the artworks clean and free from debris. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently remove dust from the surface without scratching or damaging the canvas or resin finish. For framed pieces with glass covers, such as the Framed Print Floral Chino 1, a glass cleaner can be used on the exterior, being careful not to spray directly onto the artwork to avoid moisture seeping into the frame.
It’s also advisable to avoid placing wall art in damp or humid environments to prevent mould and warping. Bathrooms or poorly ventilated areas can affect the integrity of the materials over time. For metal artworks like the Wall Art Turtle, ensure they are kept dry and occasionally check for signs of rust, applying a rust-resistant coating if necessary.
When hanging heavy or large pieces, use appropriate wall anchors and fixtures to ensure the artwork is securely mounted and does not pose a risk of falling. This is particularly important for substantial items like the Framed Canvas Abstract Rain XL. Always double-check the weight capacity of your wall hooks and anchors.
Finally, handle your wall art with care when moving or repositioning it. Use two hands to support larger pieces, and avoid touching the surface of the canvas with bare hands to prevent oils and dirt from transferring. By following these maintenance tips, you can ensure that your wall art remains as beautiful and impactful as the day it was first displayed.
