When you purchase a canvas prints, you are making a purchase that should last for many years. We choose to put our print our photos on canvas because we want to memorialize a certain occasion or person. If you buy a canvas print, you are naturally going to want to take care of it. There are a few simple steps that you can take to ensure that your canvas print stays nice as well as few easy ways to keep it clean it something does happen to it.
First of all, you want to make sure that the colors in your canvas photo stay just as bright as the day they were printed. All dyes will fade in direct sunlight, and this is especially true for your prints. Look for a location in your house that doesn’t get direct sun exposure. South facing exposure gives you the harshest light for the longest portion of the day, but any direct sunlight isn’t advisable. If you have a shaded hallway, you might find that that is the best place to display your canvas. Otherwise, any reasonably shady spot will do.
Your canvas photo print is made from organic and perishable materials. The canvas is of heavy duty cotton and the frame is crafted from pine or fir. Both cotton and wood are sensitive to changes in moisture and heat. Don’t put up your pictures in a place where it is constantly going from hot to cold, such as near your stovetop. You should also avoid putting them in your bathroom as the constant changes in humidity can cause the wood to warp over time. Warped wood means that your canvas won’t stretch as tightly across the frame and it can distort the look of the picture. If you decided to take your pictures down for part of the year and keep them in storage, you should keep the same heat and moisture principles in mind. Make sure that your basement or attic isn’t too hot, cold, or damp.
The best way to clean your prints is simple, old-fashioned dusting. Use a feather duster or a dry cloth to wipe off any dust that may accumulate on the surface and especially the top your canvas. The dust particles can get lodged in between the weave of your print and cause the entire picture to look dull or grey. You can also protect your print from dust by framing it in glass. If you prefer the natural look of canvas, there are some non-glossy protective sprays that you can use to coat your picture. Just make sure that after you print your photos on canvas, you can also protect them.
