At Wandkraft, we believe that art should not only be beautiful but also remain beautiful. Whether you have a glossy glass painting, a warm wooden print, or acoustic felt hanging on your wall, each material requires its own care. In this guide, we explain for each material how to keep your wall decoration clean, fresh, and radiant, so you can enjoy it for years to come.
Glass and plexiglass: shine without stains
Glass and plexiglass give an artwork an elegant and luxurious look, but they are also susceptible to dust and fingerprints. The best results are achieved with a soft microfiber cloth and an ammonia-free glass cleaner. Do not spray the cleaner directly onto the surface, but onto the cloth to prevent streaks. With plexiglass, extra caution is important: lukewarm water with a little dish soap is often enough. It is better not to use paper towels or scourers, as they can cause scratches.
Aluminium: modern and easy to maintain
Aluminium wall decoration is popular for its sleek and modern appearance. Fortunately, this material requires little maintenance. Regular dusting with a soft cloth keeps the surface looking good. For fingerprints, you can carefully use a cloth and a little glass cleaner, but here too: do not spray directly onto the material. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive cleaners to prevent damage.
Wood: warm and natural
Wooden artworks bring warmth and character to your interior but are more sensitive to sunlight and moisture. Dust the wood regularly with a dry cloth or duster. For stains, you can use a slightly damp cloth, but always wipe the surface dry afterward. Make sure not to hang your wooden art in direct sunlight, as it can discolour over time.
Acoustic felt: beautiful and functional
Acoustic felt is not only beautiful but also functional due to its sound-absorbing properties. Keeping it clean is simple: vacuum the felt with a brush attachment on the lowest setting. For a stain, it is important not to rub, but gently dab with a damp cloth. Stubborn stains? Then it might be wise to call in a professional.
General tips for all materials
In addition to cleaning, there are a few general points of attention. Do not hang art above a radiator or in a room with high humidity without good ventilation. Avoid direct sunlight, especially for wood and felt. Also, consider the right lighting: well-placed lamps not only show off your artwork better but also protect it from external influences.
