Photographic Care Tips:

 “How should I care for Acrylic Glazing?”

You may safely clean acrylic with a clean soft cloth.  Any of the new micro fiber cloths work well, just be sure to slightly dampen the micro fiber cloth.   Never use paper towels!  Paper towels are the equivalent of wadded and ground up wood chips.  

If you use a cleaner, be certain it is specifically formulated for acrylic.  Never use commercial window cleaners on acrylic!  We clean our acrylic with Brillianize, which is a one-step acrylic cleaner and polish.  Other excellent brands of acrylic cleaner can readily be obtained such as Novus.  Just make sure the cleaner is specifically formulated for acrylic, then just dampen your micro fiber cloth and wipe.

“What's the best way to remove dust particles from a photo or matting?”

 Always treat your fine art photographs as you would a water color.  You may safely use a soft fine art brush to remove dust from a photo or mat, or you may use a hand held blower bulb.  Never use anything damp including canned air.
