Dusting Your Artwork and Picture Frames

My son is obsessed with this cute framed picture of himself from Artifact Uprising. Whenever someone comes over, it’s the first thing he shows them.

My mother-in-law was visiting the other day, and he did his usual picture routine. But this time, when he pointed to the picture, he left a HUGE streak in the dust on the frame. Then, he looks at his finger, all confused, and asks my mother-in-law, "Grandma, what's this white stuff?"

And you know what? She gave me this judgey look that said, "Do you ever clean anything?" Ugh. The worst! But she was right. My picture frames were disgusting. I just kept missing them during my regular dusting.

So as soon as she left, I put the kids in front of the TV and got to work. Now, my pictures look amazing, and I'm not scared to let my son touch them anymore. (Okay, maybe a little scared — but of them breaking!)

Remind Me Why I Need to Dust?

  • Clearer View: Dust can make your pictures or artwork look dull. Let those masterpieces shine!
  • Preservation: Over time, dust can actually damage frames and even the pictures inside. A little cleaning goes a long way in protecting your memories.
  • Fresher Feel: Dust-free frames just make your whole space feel cleaner and more inviting.

Gather Your Cleaning Crew

Let's Get Dusting!

  1. Safety First: If your frame is hanging, carefully take it down to avoid any accidents.
  2. Gentle Wipe Down: Use a dry microfiber cloth to remove the majority of the dust. Work in long strokes, following the lines of the frame.
  3. Tackle Tough Spots: For any lingering dust or grime, lightly dampen a corner of your cloth with a dissolved HeySunday dishwasher sheet in warm water. Gently wipe the area and then dry it immediately with a clean section of the cloth.
  4. Detail Work: Use a soft-bristled brush to carefully remove dust from any deep carvings or corners.
  5. Vacuum Assist: For larger frames, use your vacuum's brush attachment to quickly remove dust from the frame and the surrounding wall area.

Extra Tips for a Sparkling Finish

  • Regularity is Key: Aim to dust your frames every couple of weeks to prevent dust build-up.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Many cleaning products can damage delicate frame finishes. Stick to a HeySunday dishwasher sheet and warm water when possible.
  • Don't Forget the Glass: Give the glass a quick wipe with a clean microfiber cloth to remove any smudges or fingerprints.

A Small Effort, Big Reward

I know, I know, dusting picture frames is not the most exciting task. But trust me, knowing you’ll pass the white-glove test next time your mother-in-law visits is huge. Plus, you get to enjoy your beautiful photos and artwork even more!

Happy cleaning! ✨
