Canvas prints are a fantastic interior design detail that can enhance any environment, but in order for them to maintain their beauty and durability over time, it is important to care for them properly. Here are some practical tips to ensure your artwork remains in top condition for many years to come.
The right placement is key
To prevent your canvas prints from getting damaged, it's important to place them in the right place. Avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can fade the colors over time. Another important tip is to avoid areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms, as the moisture can cause the canvas to stretch or mold to form.
Regular dusting
As with other furniture and interior items, dust can accumulate on your paintings. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust from the surface. Avoid using water or cleaning agents, as they can damage the paint and canvas. A dry microfiber cloth is ideal for this task.
Store them correctly
If you ever need to store your canvas prints, make sure they are stored in a cool, dry place. Never stack them on top of each other without protection, as this can damage both the canvas and the frame. Instead, use acid-free paper between the prints or roll them carefully with the painting facing out and protect them with paper or fabric.
Handle the paintings carefully
When moving or rehanging your paintings, make sure to hold them firmly and avoid pressing directly on the canvas. Always hold the frame and, if possible, ask for help to avoid accidents.
