Acrylic Crafts Maintenance

Clean gently to avoid scratches

Tool selection : Always use a soft cotton, microfiber cloth or sponge for cleaning. Never use a rough towel, brush, or paper towel to avoid scratches.

Cleaning method: Rinse or wipe with warm water to remove surface dust. For stains, use a small amount of mild dish soap or 1% soapy water, rub gently with a soft cloth, then immediately rinse with clean water and dry with a dry cloth

Contraindicated Cleaners : Definitely avoid using cleaners containing strong acids, alkalis, acetone, alcohol, or any granular abrasives that can corrode or severely scratch the acrylic surface

Keep away from high temperatures and prevent deformation

Acrylic will begin to soften and deform at about 70°C, and will soften significantly above 100°C. Therefore, it should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators, stoves, ovens, windowsills in direct sunlight, etc

Do not place hot drinks, hot tableware directly on acrylic crafts.

Avoid direct sunlight to prevent yellowing

Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays will cause acrylic products to turn yellow, age, and lose their luster

Try to place crafts in a cool place or protect them with UV protection coatings/shades

Handle with care to prevent bumping and crushing

Acrylic has a brittle texture and is prone to cracks or breakage when hit or crushed by sharp objects. Be sure to handle it gently when handling it to avoid collisions with other hard objects

When storing, it should be placed separately or wrapped in a soft cloth to avoid stacking.

Treat scratches and restore shine

Fine scratches: Regular toothpaste (non-gel) can be dipped in a soft cloth, gently rubbed in circular motions, and then washed dry with water, which is usually effective in reducing scratches

Deeper scratches: It is recommended to use water sandpaper (such as more than 2000 mesh) with water to gently sand the scratched area, then polish with toothpaste or a special liquid polishing wax with a soft cloth to restore transparency For severe scratches, it is recommended to seek professional polishing services

Professional polishing: You can use an automobile waxing machine with cloth wheels and liquid polishing wax for mechanical polishing for better results
