The Basics Of Picture Frame Care
If you have lots of photos displayed in your house, chances are good that you don't know how to properly care for your picture frames. Find out what you need to do to safeguard your pictures and keep your favorite framed photos looking great for years.
Creating Duplicates of Your Important Photos
One of the best things you can do to care for your pictures, is to make sure you have a way to create a high quality duplicate.With digital cameras, it's easy to take and print photos whenever you want.But what about your old photos displayed on your walls or table tops?Do you know where you keep all of your negatives, slides or CDs stored in case you need to replicate them?
Those special one-of-a-kind photographs require high quality replication to help make sure that you never lose your photo memories. There are several ways to make copies of your old photos, but it is best to seek the help of a professional who will correctly replicate your photographs and ensure they are properly done.
Clean Your Picture Frames Often
Just like any other item in your home or office, picture frames get dirty and need to be dusted regularly. The best way to do that is to place a thick towel on a flat surface and lay the picture frame face down on the towel. This will help to protect the frame and the glass from getting scratched. Next, remove the backing and carefully take out the picture.
Once you have opened the back portion of the frame and removed the photo, simply lift the glass from the frame. Go ahead and clean the glass with a glass cleaner. Remember, though, if it is acrylic, just use soap and water. Paper towels can scratch the surface of acrylic, so it is better to use cloth towels.If you're wanting to use conservation techniques and protect your photos , you should only clean the glass with a cloth as paper towels leave an acid residue behind on the glass.
The care of your frame largely depends upon the finish and material used to make the frame. To clean a wood picture frame with a smooth lacquer finish use a dust cleaner or a water dampened cloth. To prevent damage to your frame be sure before using any type of cleaner that your wood frame has a lacquered finish similar to a piece of furniture.And don't forget to remove your photo from the frame before cleaning with a spray cleaner.
For unfinished frames with a raw or unprotected wood surface, be extra careful with these frames as they can be damaged by improper cleaning. Unlike finished or lacquered wood frames with a protective finish, unfinished wood picture frames should only be dusted with a soft dry toothbrush or possibly a small vacuum.This method cleans your frame off without leaving pieces of paper towel or cloth stuck to your unfinished wood frame.Avoid using wood or dust cleaners on unfinished wood frames as they can discolor or stain the bare wood frame.
How to Care for Your Metal Picture Frames
Metal picture frames can be cleaned in several ways. Use a slightly dampened towel moistened with water to clean aluminum or gold or silver colored frames.Wipe the frame carefully and then dry with a soft dry cloth to avoid leaving water spots.
If you have a precious metal frame, like a solid pewter photo frame, silver plated frame or sterling silver frame, you need to determine if it has a lacquered finish. In most cases, if you've had the frame for a while and it hasn't tarnished you can be pretty sure it's a lacquered frame. A lacquer finished frame should only be cleaned with a water dampened cloth and gently dried with a dry, soft cloth towel.
If you have an old silver frame that's tarnished, then you can be pretty sure that it doesn't have any lacquer coating and should be cleaned with a quality silver cleaner. Be sure to carefully read the cleaner instructions before applying. And, remember to always take out your picture before cleaning your frame so you don't ruin your picture.
Anytime you use any cleaner, always test a small section of the bottom or back of the frame to make sure the cleaner works well with your metal frame.Once you're done with cleaning your metal frame, wash you hands so you don't transfer any cleaning residue onto your photo.Before putting back your picture, make sure the frame and glass are completely dry.If there is any moisture left on the glass, you run the risk of having your photo stick to the glass and be damaged.
As you can see, it's easy to take care of your picture frames properly by following these simple steps. By consistently taking care of your photos and frames, your framed memories will always look their best.
