How to Care for Your Artwork: Preserving Your Family’s Legacy

Your artwork was created with intention — handcrafted in the USA using museum-grade, archival materials designed to last a lifetime. With just a little care, your albums and framed pieces will remain timeless heirlooms for generations to come.

Below is everything you need to know to properly care for your artwork at home.

Caring for Your Heirloom Album

Albums are meant to be enjoyed, shared, and revisited often but how they’re stored and handled matters.

Best practices for album care:

• Always store your album closed and laying flat
• Never store albums vertically, as this can weaken the spine
• Turn pages gently using your fingertips, not fingernails
• Keep albums out of direct sunlight
• Avoid extreme temperature and humidity changes
  (Always store in air-conditioned spaces; avoid attics and basements)
• To clean, gently wipe with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth only
• Do not use water or liquid cleaners

Caring for Framed Artwork

Your framed prints are designed to live on your walls safely and beautifully with a few simple precautions.

To preserve your framed artwork:

• Keep artwork out of direct sunlight
• Avoid drastic changes in temperature and humidity
• Always store artwork in climate-controlled spaces
• Dust surfaces using only a lint-free cloth

Cleaning Acrylic & Glass: What to Know

Acrylic and glass surfaces can scratch easily if cleaned improperly.

Please avoid all chemical cleaners, including Windex or glass cleaners — even if they’re labeled environmentally friendly, organic, or non-scented.

If cleaning is needed:

1. Lightly spray a small amount of ammonia-free cleaner onto a lint-free cloth
   (never directly onto the artwork)
2. Apply gentle pressure only
3. Rinse with clean water
4. Dry by blotting with a clean, damp cloth

Beehive Hangers: Important Handling Tips

Your framed artwork is installed using Beehive Hangers, chosen for their security, precision, and clean wall presentation.

These hangers include small metal pins, which means:

• Frames can scratch easily if stacked
• Extra care should be taken when moving or removing artwork

If you ever plan to take your artwork down or rehang it, please follow the proper removal and hanging method outlined by Beehive here

Your artwork isn’t just décor, it’s a tangible reminder of love, connection, and the season of life you’re in right now. With proper care, these pieces will grow more meaningful with time and become part of your family’s story.
