Receiving or purchasing a canvas print as a piece of art for your space is one that can display your memories for decades. Canvas prints are special in nature due to their creation methods and the way in which the texture of the canvas is similar to oil and acrylic artwork. Being unique and delicate in nature calls for particular methods in which to care for, clean, and preserve the vibrancy of your canvas print. Below we will discuss these methods by explaining the top three tips for preserving your canvas prints.
Hanging Your Canvas Print
Where you decide to hang your canvas print plays a large part in how long the vibrancy of your print will last. Although you may want it in the main room of your home, make sure the area in which you hang it stays dry and cool while also paying attention to where the sun shines through your windows as you will want to avoid direct sunlight.
Even if a print is sprayed with a UV-resistant coating, over time direct sunlight can cause your canvas to fade its once vibrant colors. Heat, humidity, or moisture throughout your home or space can also cause your canvas to stretch and warp in shape, therefore it’s key not to hang your canvas print in your kitchen where any smoke may appear or in the bathroom where condensation may occur.
Cleaning Your Canvas Print
Over time as your canvas print is in your home, it will collect dust on and around the canvas, especially on the top. When you go to clean your canvas print be sure to avoid any harsh chemicals as they are likely to damage either the print or the canvas itself. The best method to use when cleaning your canvas print is to use a feather duster to remove any dust or debris that may be present. If there is a stain or stubborn mark present, use a microfiber towel that is slightly damp and gently move in a circular motion over the mark being sure to not rub into the canvas.
Storing Your Canvas Print
Whether you’re moving or changing the theme of your room, when you store your canvas print you want to handle and store it with special care. To keep your canvas print free of scratches, tears, or discoloration you want to store it with some form of acid-free paper or material in a cool, dry place. By doing so you will be able to prevent any discoloration that may occur from another material being placed upon it while also protecting it from any potential damages. When transporting your canvas print, be sure to do so in a gentle manner and without placing anything heavy on top of it.
Conclusion
Your canvas print is designed to last for decades in both its structure and its vibrancy, but it’s up to you to properly care for, clean, and preserve your artwork in the proper way.
