CANVAS Cleaning Instructions:
Remove Loose Dirt:
Start by using a soft broom or brush to remove any dirt, dust, or debris from the surface of the canvas. You can also use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment for more precision.
Prepare a Gentle Cleaning Solution:
In a bucket, mix warm water with a mild detergent or soap. Avoid any harsh chemicals, bleach, or cleaners with alcohol that might affect the print’s quality.
Spot Cleaning:
For localized stains, dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the soapy solution. Gently blot or lightly scrub the stained area in a circular motion. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure the detergent won’t affect the print.
Wash the Entire Surface:
Using the soapy water and a soft-bristled mop or sponge, gently clean the entire surface of the canvas. Work in sections to ensure thorough cleaning, but avoid heavy scrubbing over the printed areas, as this could damage the design.
Rinse Thoroughly:
After cleaning, use water to rinse the canvas thoroughly. Be sure to remove all soap residue to prevent any buildup or streaks.
Dry the Canvas:
Use clean towels to blot the canvas, or let it air dry in a well-ventilated area. Do not fold the canvas while it’s damp, as this can cause creases or mildew growth.
Important Tips:
Avoid Scratching the Print: Never use rough materials like steel wool or abrasive pads on the surface, as they can scratch or damage the print.
Test Cleaning Products: Before using any new cleaner, test it on an inconspicuous area to ensure it won’t damage the print or vinyl surface.
Drying: Always air dry the canvas fully before folding it for storage to prevent mold or mildew.
