How to Clean a Canvas Painting
Let’s start with the basics. Cleaning your canvas print doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, all you need to do is dust the surface every once in a while. If any discoloration appears on your canvas, you can gently spot clean any marks with a damp towel. Make sure to only use water to avoid damaging the protective layer on the canvas. Do not use any detergents as it may cause a reaction with the ink and ruin your precious print.
If you chose a traditional framed print rather than an exposed canvas, the maintenance is even easier! You can dust the glass surface and the frame itself with a soft cloth or duster. Make sure the back of your frame is secure to avoid any debris getting in between the glass and the print.
Our Premium Materials
Before cleaning your artwork, it’s important to choose a canvas print made from high-quality materials. Purchasing premium quality wall art will make your life MUCH easier in the long run. We use 100% premium canvas and stretch it over fine North American pine wood for ultimate durability. You can use push pins in our canvases, and hang them in areas that are exposed to light moisture without damaging the surface. We use high-quality protective lamination so your print stays vibrant with almost no maintenance.

Where to Hang Your Print
The longevity of your wall art can depend on where you decide to hang it. Our canvases are intended to be hung indoors. However, it is possible to hang your artwork outside if you live in a mild climate and it is well protected against sunlight and other harsh elements. If you’re unsure whether your outdoor space is well-suited for a canvas, it’s better not to take the risk. We always recommend hanging your canvas indoors to keep it safe and sound.
Our customers often ask if they can hang their prints in the bathroom. The answer is yes! As long as your canvas art isn’t exposed to direct moisture, you’re in the clear. Make sure your bathroom is well ventilated and you don’t let steam build up in a small space.
Pre and Post-Hanging
Ensuring the endurance of your artwork starts from the hanging process. We want to make your interior decorating process fun and easy! That’s why we make sure our canvas prints are ready-to-hang as soon as they arrive. Each canvas has a sawtooth hanger installed for a sturdy grip.
