How to Care for Acrylic Photo Gifts So They Stay Clear

Acrylic keepsakes stay beautiful for years with a little gentle care. Here is how to keep your acrylic photo gifts clear and scratch free.

Cleaning tips

• Use a soft cloth. A microfiber cloth, lightly damp, lifts dust without scratching.
• Skip harsh cleaners. Ammonia and abrasive sprays can cloud acrylic, so avoid them.
• Blot, do not rub hard. Gentle motions prevent fine scratches.

Display tips

Keep acrylic out of direct, harsh sunlight over long periods to protect the printed photo, and set it where it will not get knocked or stacked under heavier items.
