Thanks for snagging a piece from Baskn Art! To keep your epoxy table or wall art looking sharp for the long haul, just follow these simple tips.
Keeping It Clean & Pristine
* Dust it Off: A quick pass with a soft, dry cloth or a microfiber duster is all it takes to keep the dust bunnies away and maintain that vibrant shine.
* Easy on the Scrub: Seriously, lay off the rough stuff. Abrasive cleaners or scrub pads are a no-go; they'll just scratch up the surface. Stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners.
* Wipe Spills Fast: Spills happen, but get to 'em quick with a damp cloth. Epoxy's tough, but don't let liquids just sit there.
* Soap and Water Does the Trick: For a deeper clean, a few drops of mild dish soap in warm water work wonders. Dampen a soft cloth, wipe it down, then hit it with a dry cloth to prevent water spots.
* No Harsh Chemicals: Bleach and acetone are the enemy here. They'll cloud or discolor your epoxy over time, and nobody wants that.
Protecting Your Investment
* Heat's a No-Go: Hot pots, pans, or even coffee mugs can leave their mark. Always use trivets or coasters to shield your table from heat damage.
* Coasters and Placemats are Your Buddies: These things are like bodyguards for your table. They'll protect against scratches, spills, and excess moisture.
* Watch Out for Sharp Stuff: Keys, knives, whatever — keep 'em away from the epoxy surface. A decorative tray for your everyday carry can save you a headache.
* Keep it Out of the Sun: Direct sunlight can make epoxy fade or yellow over time. Find a spot for your art or table that's out of the direct sun's path, or use blinds to block those harsh UV rays.
Boosting the Shine
* A Little Polish Goes a Long Way: If you want that extra pop, a non-silicone furniture polish can do the trick. Just a dab on a soft cloth, and follow the directions on the bottle.
Wall Art Specifics
* Hang it Right: Make sure your wall art is secured properly with the right hardware. No one wants their art taking a dive.
* Steer Clear of Moisture: Don't hang your art in humid spots like bathrooms. Too much moisture can mess with the epoxy finish.
Long-Term Upkeep
* Check it Over Occasionally: Give your table or art a once-over every now and then for any wear and tear. If you spot a dull spot or a minor scratch, a quality epoxy polishing compound can often bring back the shine.
* Don't Drop the Hammer: Epoxy's durable, but it's not invincible. Avoid dropping heavy items or applying excessive force; you'll end up with dents or chips.
