How to Care for Your Acrylic Items from Rosie Meringue
Acrylic is durable, but it still needs a little love and attention to maintain its shine and beauty. Here’s how to care for your gorgeous acrylic pieces from Rosie Meringue:
-
Clean Gently 🧼
Use a soft, microfiber cloth to wipe down your acrylic pieces. For regular dusting, a dry cloth works perfectly. If deeper cleaning is needed, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a mixture of water and mild soap, then gently wipe away any dirt or fingerprints. -
Avoid Harsh Chemicals 🚫
Never use abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based products, or solvents like alcohol, as they can cause scratches or damage the finish. Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners that are safe for acrylic. -
Keep Away from Scratches ⚡
Acrylic is tough, but it can scratch if not handled carefully. Avoid placing your acrylic items on rough or abrasive surfaces. When storing them, keep them in a safe place where they won’t be knocked around. -
Polish to Restore Shine ✨
If your acrylic pieces start to lose their shine, you can use a special acrylic polish to buff out minor scratches and restore their glossy finish. Just apply a small amount of polish to a soft cloth and buff gently. -
Avoid Direct Sunlight 🌞
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause acrylic to yellow or fade over time. Store your acrylic items in a cool, dry place and avoid keeping them in windowsills or areas exposed to harsh sunlight. -
Handle with Clean Hands 👐
Oils and dirt from your fingers can leave marks or fingerprints on your acrylic. To prevent this, try to handle your pieces with clean hands and keep them in a safe place when not in use.
By following these simple steps, your acrylic items from Rosie Meringue will stay looking as fabulous as ever. If you need any help, feel free to get in touch!
