Do: Employ Conservation Framing for valuable artwork; monetary and/or sentimental.

Do: Hang artwork in locations that offer protection from the damaging effects of HEAT, MOISTURE, and LIGHT

Don't: Hang valuable artwork on outside walls, over a usable fireplace, in bathrooms and in direct sunlight

Do: Clean the surface regularly with the proper cleaner (acrylic/plexiglass requires special cleaner.)

Don't: Spray the cleaner directly onto the surface. Spray cleaner on a soft cloth first, to avoid pooling and damage to the frame, mat and art.

Do: Check the age and condition of the matting occasionally for signs of deterioration, spotting, or yellowing caused by exposure to light, humidity, and temperature. If you see signs of deterioration or are unsure of the condition of the matting, bring it in to Pro Art Source and we will be happy to inspect it for you.
