CLEANING & CARE
Resonance Art
Overview:::
Your Resonance Art pieces are heirloom pieces. They will last for generations provided you care for them accordingly.
They are waterproof and suitable to harsh conditions.. including humid or dry environments. They are unaffected by mild chemicals. Their scratch-resistance is excellent under normal conditions and use. It is still important to treat them as precious heirloom art despite their durability. Sharp or hard objects will scratch the surface. Strong knocks will dent them. Placing anything heavy against them may bend them where they are installed.. or whilst in storage.. or during transport.
The inks are 'archival' grade -classified as 'museum quality'. The ink is fused into the metal surface in a way that has bonded art and metal as one. This unique process has resulted in material and ink longevity - which has been independently lab tested with virtually no fading or material degradation over the equivalent of 100 years of normal use and conditions.
Caring for your Resonance Art:::
For dusting.. gently wipe with a clean high quality microfibre cloth. For marks.. such as spills or handprints.. gently wipe with a clean damp microfibre cloth. Use a mild all-purpose detergent as required and gently wipe dry with a dry & clean cloth. If a spot or mark is hard-to-clean.. use isopropyl alcohol with a clean high quality microfibre cloth.
Caution. Never use detergents that contain abrasives. Never use scourers. Always ensure that cleaning or polishing cloths are free of stones or sand or glass shards ( or any sharp materials ) as they could scratch or gradually dull the surface over time. We advise that although the inks & material are highly UV resistant that you minimise direct or prolonged exposure to sunlight.
We do not warrant your Resonance Art for:
1) Outdoor use or
2) Indoor use in direct sunlight
If you plan to hang your art in direct sunlight -including outdoors- then this is possible with an alternate material finish. Simply follow the online consultation process to initiate a custom enquiry and order.
Note that if you have purchased through a custom order you may have ordered art pieces on another material and must follow the specific instructions on how to care for that. If you have purchased from the Gift Range then follow the specific instructions on how to care for that (see 2). If you have purchased Resonance Guidance Cards.. or Resonance Guidance Card Wall Art.. then follow the specific instructions on how to care for them (see 3).

Resonance Gift Range
Your gift has been designed and made to be the highest quality whilst remaining cost-accessible as a gift. This means that it is not quite of the same archival 'museum' grade as the Resonance Art range.
Mirror Gloss Metal:::
These art pieces have the capacity to be heirloom pieces that can last for generations if cared for properly. Apply the same care as the care instructions shared for the Resonance art range and take especially good care of the gloss surface.
Satin Wood:::
These art pieces can last a lifetime if cared for optimally.
The surface is not scratch resistant. It is very important to dust using only high-quality scratch-free microfibre cloths that are soft & clean. For handprints -or other marks- dampen your cloth with warm water and wring out the excess water before contact with the art piece surface or sides. Avoid all detergents. Dry with a soft and clean polishing cloth. Do not scrub - only clean & dry gently. Always ensure that cloths are free of stones or sand or glass shards (any hard or sharp debris) as they will scratch or dull the surface over time. Avoid kitchens & bathrooms & other moist environments. Wipe off liquid spills immediately. Keep out of direct UV or sunlight.

Resonance Guidance Cards
Resonance Guidance Cards - ‘Natural Feel’ ::: Cards & Box Set
Your natural feel cards and box are lovingly handmade and handcut using natural materials -unsealed recycled papers. They have been artisan made as precious 'temple art' and require you to treat them with the same love with which they were made. They have not been coated with plastics or plastic sprays meaning they can mark easily and will absorb liquids and moisture. Any coloured liquid or oil and grease will stain them!
Handle your cards and their box with clean.. dry.. oil-free hands. Minimise exposure to direct sunlight and excessive heat. Store your cards in the box and bag whilst travelling. Take good care of them.. and most of all.. enjoy them!
