How to Clean Art Prints

1. Take good care of your art prints. Framing or covering them is probably the best option if you want to keep your prints on display. Otherwise keep them in a dry and safe place.
2. Blow off all surface dust and debris with a cheap and effective dust blower (available at your local arts and crafts store).
3. If the prints need more than a good blowing, then try using Photographic Solutions PEC-12, which can get almost anything off photos and prints. You'll also need a spray bottle and some PECPads, available at bhphoto.com or an arts and crafts store.PEC-12 is strong stuff, so depending on the size of the art print you shouldn't need more than a spray or two. If you're working with something near 4' x 6' you might only need half a spray.
4. A cheaper and simpler method to clean your art prints involves dabbing the photo with a cotton ball soaked with rubbing alcohol. Be sure to wipe away any leftover residue. A quick wipe with a microfibre or other lint-free cloth is a good idea to make sure all debris is cleared from the print.
