Product Care
I’m over the moon whenever someone purchases some of my work, and I want to help you take good care of it! Check out these sections for some helpful information, and thank you so much again for your purchase!
Artwork
Here’s how to help your art print or original piece last as long as possible
Things to Avoid
Direct sunlight
Humidity
Smoke
Mold + mildew
Extreme temperatures
Attics + basements without temperature control
Rooms such as bathrooms + kitchens
Lots of handling
Spraying cleaning products directly onto a frame which can cause product pooling and mold growth
Blowing on the piece to remove dust
Storing upright when outside of a frame
Storing rolled up
Storing in plastic, especially sealed or air-tight
Things to Help Preserve
Glass in frame with UV-light protection
Spots with low or indirect light
Protective sleeves made from acid-free cotton pages to promote breathability + prevent mold growth
Low humidity
Well-ventilated areas
Room temperature
Handling art with clean + dry hands or using white cotton gloves or powder-free nitrile gloves
Spray cleaning products onto cloth before wiping down the glass to avoid product pooling inside the frame
Gently remove dust with clean, dry, soft-bristled brush
Storing flat when outside of a frame
Using an acid-free matte for your frame to keep the surface of your art off the glass + preventing condensation
As you can tell, caring for your artwork can be an involved process, and I would recommend you look further into care for your print or original artwork if you’re concerned about its preservation, and of course, you can always e-mail me at orders@jbeoin.com about any care questions you have!
Shirts and Tote Bags
Please note that since the apparel I offer are printed with water based inks, the shirts and tote bags will, over time, fade to that comfy, retro look that old t-shirts have. Here’s how you can help preserve them for as long as possible
Machine wash inside out with cold water
Dry flat
Iron garment inside out
Do not bleach
Stickers
If you get stickers without any protective lamination on them, such as markable planner stickers, I suggest only using those on things that won’t be exposed to a lot of daylight or moisture.
If you get a sticker that’s coated with some sort of protective layer such as laminate or UV coating, there’s more wiggle room in where you apply them. I would avoid anything that needs to be washed or that comes into contact with a lot of heavy water or other elements regularly.
Stickers, like art prints, do best when they’re stored or used out of the light, but that shouldn’t limit how we use stickers, in my opinion! Stickers are fun and meant to be seen, so slap ’em on whatever you want, but just remember that in a few years, they won’t likely look exactly the same as they do fresh off the press. (But they’ll still look cool!)
