Your piece is built to outlast you. Treat it right and it will haunt your walls, or your closet, for decades.
Canvas & Wall Art
Dust gently. A dry, soft microfiber cloth, light pressure, straight across. Never circular scrubbing.
Never use water, solvents, or cleaning sprays. Liquid cleaners break down the pigment and the coating. There is no undoing it.
Keep it out of direct sunlight. UV fades ink over time. A wall that gets hard afternoon sun will wash your piece out within a few years.
Avoid humidity. Bathrooms, unfinished basements, and uninsulated garages will warp the stretcher bars and loosen the canvas.
Handle by the frame. Fingertips on the printed surface leave oils that show up later.
If the canvas loosens with seasonal humidity, it will usually re-tension on its own as conditions change. Do not attempt to re-stretch it yourself.
Apparel
Our garments are direct-to-garment printed. The ink is embedded in the fabric, not sitting on top of it, but heat is still its enemy.
Wash cold, inside out. This single habit does more for print life than everything else combined.
Gentle cycle, like colors.
Mild detergent only. No bleach, no fabric softener, no oxygen brighteners — they all attack the print.
Tumble dry low, or hang dry. Hang drying is better. High heat is what cracks a print.
Do not iron the design. If you must iron, turn the garment inside out and press around the print, never over it.
No dry cleaning.
Embroidered Items
Wash cold, inside out, gentle cycle.
Hang dry. Machine drying can pucker the stitching.
Steam rather than iron. If you iron, do it from the reverse side over a towel.
Trim any loose thread with scissors — never pull it.
A Note on Wear
Prints soften. Blacks fade a half-shade. Edges go a little rough. That is not a defect — it is the piece aging alongside you, and we would not want it any other way.
