Spring has sprung! With warmer weather and blooming flowers comes spring cleaning. We’re excited to get our homes spotless to welcome the new season, and we’re particularly looking forward to showing our frames a little love.
Start by Dusting
No matter the size, shape, or material of a frame, it collects dust. Along the top, along the bottom—your frames can collect more dust than you might think. Start your spring cleaning routine by dusting all of your frames with a feather duster or microfiber cloth. Make sure you dust along the top, sides, and front of both the frame and the glass.
Use the Right Cleaner
The wrong cleaner can damage your frames, so it’s important to use the right cleaner. For wood frames, it’s best to use a wood oil or another cleaner that’s specifically designed to preserve the natural beauty of the wood. For plastic frames, an all-purpose cleaner is a great option.
Don’t Forget to Clean the Glass
Keeping the glass in your frames clean will allow you to enjoy a clear view of your photos and art pieces. Taking the frame apart and cleaning the glass separately from the frame is a great option if your frame is made of wood or another material that may be damaged by the glass cleaner. If you would prefer not to take your frames apart, simply spray the glass cleaner onto your cloth instead of directly onto the glass. Want to take your cleaning to the next level? Use old newspapers and a vinegar/water mixture.
While cleaning, you may run into some old frames that need to be replaced or some photos or art pieces that you want to frame. Check out our Facebook page and available frames for inspiration!
