    How to Take Care of Your Glass Framed Prints

    You’ll be amazed at how a simple dusting and wiping will refresh your print and give the room it is hung in a crisper feel and look! 

    Here’s how you can take care of your glass framed prints:

    For glass-covered prints, you’ll need the following: 

    • A lint-free, soft cloth. 
    • A streak-free glass cleaner.  
    • A duster. 

    Cleaning steps: 

    • Gently take the print off the wall and onto a padded and stable surface. 
    • Carefully dust the frame from top to bottom.
    • Spray the streak-free glass cleaner on the cloth and then wipe the glass. Always avoid spraying directly onto the surface, as the cleaning liquid could seep into the actual print and damage it. 
    • Dry the glass with the lint-free cloth. 
    • Hang the print back on the wall. 

    For plexiglass or acrylic-covered prints, you’ll need the following: 

    • A lint-free, very soft cloth. 
    • A streak-free, ammonia-free cleaner, special plexiglass or acrylic cleaner, or a mixture of mild soap and water. 
    • A duster. 

    Cleaning steps: 

    • Gently take the print off the wall and onto a padded and stable surface. 
    • Carefully dust the frame from top to bottom.
    • Spray your cleaner of choice on the cloth and then carefully wipe the plexiglass or acrylic surface because it can scratch easily. Always avoid spraying directly onto the surface, as the cleaning liquid could seep into the actual print and damage it.
    • Dry the plexiglass or acrylic surface with the lint-free cloth. 
    • Hang the print back on the wall. 

    Where you hang your print  is significant and will affect its longevity and state; here are a few things you should avoid: 

    • Hanging the print under direct sunlight.
    • Hanging the print in a room where it will be subjected to heavy smoking. 
    • Hanging the print in a humid room.

    Wall Art is precious and adds depth and energy to the room it’s hung in; that’s why maintaining it will keep your space looking fresh!
