| Care Instructions for Floorcloths Each canvas is hand crafted with special attention to detail. I only ask that you follow these care instructions to insure a lifetime of enjoyment with your floorcloth. Unwrapping Before installing your floorcloth remove the outer packaging and put it in a warm place for a few hours before unrolling it. Cold temperatures make the canvas stiff. As it warms up it will become flexible again. It should be allowed to flatten out naturally to prevent any cracking. Sometimes I help them out by using a hair dryer. Placement Floorcloths are intended to be used on hard floors such as vinyl, wood, concrete and most tiles. I don't recommend using them on carpet as the finish of the floorcloth will crack under the weight of foot traffic or furniture placement. Vacuum and mop the area where you will place your floorcloth removing any grit or debris. Anything causing surface irregularities will cause cracking over time. Any furniture placed on a floorcloth should have felt protectors attached to the bottom of the feet to prevent scratching. Wallcloths arrive ready to hang with tabs, rod pockets or grommets as specified. Murals intended to be installed directly to the wall can be pasted with heavy vinyl wallpaper paste. Follow the directions for hanging heavy wall covering and fabrics. Do-it-yourselfers and professional wallpaper hangers can do this in a jiff. Cleaning Floorcloths should be cleaned regularly. Remove dirt and dust by sweeping or vacuuming. Get underneath edges of floorcloths. Use mild soapy water and mop or wipe with a sponge. Avoid harsh cleansers and chemicals. Personally I only mop my wood floors and floorcloths with white vinegar and water. Ocassionally, maybe once every 4 to 6 weeks I will add a smidge of Murphy's oil soap to the mixture. If using soap rinse with clean water and towel dry. All pieces are waxed before leaving the studio and may be periodically waxed to maintain a nice sheen and flexibility. Use a clear bowling alley type wax. Moving and Storage Never fold floorcloths! Always roll them back onto your cardboard shipping tube for storage or moving. It is always best to store floorcloths flat but if it isn't possible leave it on the tube and secured with painters tape. I suggest wrapping it in paper for protection from dust and scratches. Always store placemats and coasters flat. Shipping Damage Every item is carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before leaving the studio. The carrier, upon acceptance of the shipment, assumes responsibility for it's safe delivery. Carefully examine the package. Do not accept or sign if it appears to be damaged. Should the damage be concealed please email me within 24 hours to start the claim process. |
