Care and Maintenance Guide
Keep your unique treasures looking beautiful for years to come with this simple care guide.
Posters & Art Prints
- Sunlight: Keep prints out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Framing: Use acid-free tape and backing boards to prevent yellowing.
- Handling: Wear clean, dry hands or cotton gloves when touching prints.
- Moisture: Avoid hanging unframed prints in damp bathrooms or kitchens.
Gothic Picture Frames
- Dusting: Clean intricate carvings weekly using a soft, dry makeup brush.
- Avoid Water: Never wipe ornate resin, wood, or plaster frames with wet cloths.
- Glass Care: Spray glass cleaner onto a microfiber cloth first, never directly onto the frame.
- Polishing: Use a tiny amount of beeswax for natural wood frames only.
Rustic Bells
- Moisture: Keep indoor iron bells dry to prevent unwanted orange rust.
- Patina: Appreciate natural color changes; patina adds to the antique charm.
- Cleaning: Wipe metal surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust.
- Outdoor Use: Apply a clear, rust-resistant matte spray if hung outside.
Vintage Hanging Stars
- Hanging: Always secure stars to a wall stud or use heavy-duty anchors.
- Solder Lines: Wipe metal joins gently; do not scrub or apply harsh chemicals.
- Glass Inserts: Clean glass panels with a damp cloth and buff dry immediately.
- Storage: Wrap stars in bubble wrap individually to protect sharp points during moves.
