When handling the frames, always hold them by the sides to avoid smudging the glass or damaging the frame’s surface.
Use appropriate hanging hardware suitable for the weight of the frame. Position nails or hooks securely on the wall, ensuring they can support the frame’s weight.
Use a microfiber cloth or a soft lint-free cloth to gently clean the glass. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
Dust the frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For wooden frames, consider using a wood polish or wax occasionally to maintain its shine.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade artwork and photographs. Position frames away from windows or use UV-filtering glass.
Avoid placing frames in areas of high humidity or extreme temperature fluctuations, as these conditions can damage both the frame and its contents.
Clean metal frames with a damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent water stains.
Use a wood cleaner or polish suitable for the type of wood to maintain its finish and prevent drying or cracking.
If frames need to be stored temporarily, wrap them in soft cloth or bubble wrap to protect against scratches and impacts.
Store frames in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure they are stored upright to prevent warping.
Use a spirit level to ensure frames are hung straight. Adjust as necessary to maintain a balanced appearance on the wall.
Periodically check hanging hardware and tighten screws or adjust hooks to keep frames secure and stable on the wall.
Consult with a professional for cleaning and maintenance, as antique frames may require special care to preserve their integrity.
Keep frames out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental damage or injury.
