Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your cortina Wooden Poster Frame.

• Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the wooden frame with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Cleaning the Front Panel: Gently wipe the transparent front panel with a soft, clean microfiber cloth. For fingerprints or smudges, use a small amount of glass cleaner applied to the cloth (not directly to the panel) and wipe clean.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the wood to fade or warp. Position the frame in a location away from direct sun exposure.
• Humidity Control: Avoid placing the frame in areas with extreme humidity fluctuations, as this can affect the wood.
