TOP TIPS FOR PICTURE FRAME CLEANING PORT DOUGLAS  

Picture Frame Cleaning PortDouglas: Whether your artworks are valuable or not, it pays to keep your collection cleaned in the topics.

This will protect it from deterioration and decay. Get your artwork on your all year round -cleaning list and ensure it stays looking clean and vibrant always.

Prevention is better than cure

Clearing and cleaning dust from your artwork regularly will not only keep it looking great, but it will also stop it from getting dirty and mouldy in the first place.

Cleaning your painting can be as simple as using a soft, dry brush and lightly dusting it or using a light feather duster; it’s important to remember that you should never add any moisture to the painting.

Get rid of wasp nests in the back and geckos are a real pain.  If you leave their mess on your artwork, it can strip colours. 

TALK TO A PROFESSIONAL AND SPIT AND POLISH WORKS WONDERS. 

In the cases that the painting is expensive, it is never advisable to undertake any cleaning work yourself.

Seek professional advice before using chemical products.

While we don’t advise anyone clean their valuable paintings.  Many museums and historians have been known to clean their pictures with saliva.

Saliva is favoured over water as it is less likely to wear away at the paint’s structure.

Remember before using your saliva, and that’s not to eat or drink anything other than water at least 30 minutes before cleaning the artwork; using a q-tip is a great way to remove dirt gently.

STAY AWAY FROM HANGING ARTWORKS UNDERNEATH AIRCON, BUT AIRCON IS COOL AND DRY IN THE SUMMER MONTHS!

Protecting your painting from mould  & dust and the elements in the summer months is a challenge.

Try not to hang art under aircon as they can leak water but keep your air conditioning on in summer or the wet season.
