Canvas Care Guide — Cleaning, Humidity & Sun Protection
Canvas Care Guide — Cleaning, Humidity & Sun Protection
Canvas prints are remarkably forgiving as a wall-art format. They don't crack like framed paper in changing humidity, they don't reflect glare like acrylic, and you don't have to dust the inside of a frame. But they do need a small amount of looking after — especially in coastal Australian homes where salt air, direct sun and seasonal humidity all have an opinion about your artwork. The good news is that "looking after" mostly means knowing what NOT to do.
The articles in this guide cover the practical care work: humidity, direct sun and dust in beach-house environments, the salt-air-and-sun specific failure modes, and an outdoor-room guide on what survives an Australian summer with the doors open. Every Salt & Sol canvas is printed with archival pigment inks rated for 100+ years indoors and gallery-wrapped over kiln-dried Australian pine — so the maintenance bar is genuinely low, but the few care tips below will keep your piece looking as fresh in 2036 as it does this week.
