Artwork Care Instructions

To preserve the artwork's beauty and durability, please follow these simple care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
• Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
• For deeper cleaning, lightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or ammonia-based products, as these can damage the polycrylic finish.

2. Handling:
• Handle the artwork with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt.
• If the piece is large or heavy, support it from the bottom rather than lifting it by protruding parts.

3. Placement:
• Display the artwork indoors and avoid direct sunlight, as prolonged UV exposure can cause fading or yellowing over time.
• Keep the artwork away from heat sources, such as radiators, fireplaces, or vents, to prevent warping.
• Maintain stable humidity levels to minimize the risk of wood expansion or contraction.

4. Protection:
• Although polycrylic provides a durable finish, avoid placing heavy or sharp objects on the artwork.
• If the piece is functional (like a tray or tabletop), consider using coasters or placemats to protect the surface from spills and scratches.

5. Touch-ups (if needed):
• Small scratches can sometimes be minimized by gently rubbing a tiny amount of paste wax over the area, then buffing lightly.
• For significant damage, consult a professional for refinishing advice.

By following these simple steps, your wood artwork will remain beautiful for years to come!
