CARING FOR YOUR ART

A GUIDE TO LONGEVITY

Thank you for choosing By Lily Kaseke art for your home. 

All art work is printed or hand-illustrated on Fine Art Paper. 

To ensure it remains in great condition, I've written a simple guide on caring for your piece.

CARING FOR YOUR PRINTS

Handling Your Print

  • Always wash your hands before handling your art print, or wear cotton gloves to prevent transferring oils and dirt.

  • Hold the print by its edges to avoid fingerprints and smudges on the printed area.


Framing and Displaying

  •  When framing, use acid-free mats and backing boards to prevent discolouration and deterioration of the print over time.

  • Use UV-protective glass or acrylic to protect your print from harmful UV rays, which can cause fading.

  • Display your print away from direct sunlight to prevent it from fading.

  • Keep your print in a stable environment, avoiding areas with high humidity or extreme temperature fluctuations.

 

Cleaning Your Print

  • Use a soft, dry cloth or a static duster to gently remove dust from the surface of the glazing. DO NOT use water or cleaning solutions directly on the print.


Storage

  • If you need to store your print, keep it flat between acid-free paper or in an archival sleeve.

  • Cool, Dark Place: Store it in a cool, dark, and dry place to prevent damage from light, heat, and moisture.
