Keep Your Canvas Looking Fresh for Years

A canvas print isn’t just wall decor—it’s a memory, a moment, a masterpiece. At Canvoria, we handcraft every canvas to bring beauty and inspiration to your space. But to keep it looking as crisp and stunning as the day it arrived, a little TLC goes a long way.

Here’s your quick and simple guide to cleaning and caring for your canvas wall art—whether it’s displayed in your living room, office, or studio.

✨ Regular Dusting = Long-Term Beauty

Dust loves to settle, especially on textured surfaces like canvas. The good news? It’s easy to manage with just a few gentle steps.

What You’ll Need:

  • A soft, dry microfiber cloth

  • A clean, soft-bristle brush (like a makeup brush or paintbrush)

How to Dust:

  1. Gently wipe the canvas with the microfiber cloth using circular motions.

  2. For textured or hard-to-reach spots, softly brush with your dry brush.

  3. Avoid using any moisture during dusting—dry is the way to go!

🟤 Do this once every 2–3 weeks to keep your print vibrant and clean.

💧 Light Spot Cleaning (If Needed)

Sometimes life happens—a smudge here, a fingerprint there. Don’t worry! You can carefully remove light marks if you follow these tips:

What You’ll Need:

  • Distilled water

  • A soft white cloth

  • Optional: Mild dish soap (no harsh chemicals)

How to Clean a Spot:

  1. Dampen your cloth with distilled water only (don’t soak it).

  2. Gently dab the spot—never rub!

  3. If needed, add a tiny drop of mild soap to the water. Dab again, then finish with just water to remove any residue.

🔔 Never spray water or cleaner directly on the canvas!

☀️ Keep It Out of Harsh Light & Humidity

To help your Canvoria canvas print last for decades, protect it from the elements.

Avoid:

🚫 Direct sunlight – can cause fading over time
🚫 Extreme heat – can warp the frame or material
🚫 Humid rooms (like bathrooms) – moisture can damage the canvas surface

✅ Choose a cool, dry place with gentle light. Your canvas will thank you!

🛠️ Hanging & Moving Tips

When hanging or moving your canvas, treat it with care. Here’s how:

  • Hold it from the sides of the frame, not the canvas surface

  • Use proper wall anchors or nails for stability

  • Avoid pressing or poking the canvas when adjusting its position

🌟 Bonus tip: Use felt pads behind the frame to prevent scuffs on your walls.

🧼 What NOT To Use

To protect your print, skip these common cleaning mistakes:

🚫 No window cleaners or sprays
🚫 No paper towels (they can scratch the surface)
🚫 No abrasive sponges or brushes
🚫 No steam or soaking

Keeping it gentle and dry is the best way to go!

🖼️ Care = Longevity

Your canvas is more than decor—it’s art with heart. With just a little routine care, you’ll keep it looking gallery-ready for years to come.
