How to Clean Your Metal Prints: Keep Them Looking Their Best

Metal Photo Print Types - Matte White, Brushed Aluminum, and HD Metal Prints

Metal Prints are a great way to showcase your favourite photos and artwork. With their vibrant colours and stunning finish, they add a modern touch to any room. At Posterjack, we offer three types of Metal Prints—HD Metal Prints, Matte White Metal Prints, and Brushed Metal Prints. Each has unique characteristics: HD Metal Prints feature a glossy finish, Matte White Metal Prints offer a smooth, low-reflective surface, and Brushed Metal Prints showcase a beautiful brushed aluminum texture. The good news? Care and cleaning are the same for all three.


In this post, we'll cover simple steps to help you keep your Metal Prints looking as bright and beautiful as the day you received them.

1. Dusting Your Metal Prints

Metal Prints are incredibly low-maintenance, but occasional dusting will keep them looking their best.

  • Use a soft, dry, non-abrasive cloth to gently remove dust. This prevents buildup and keeps your print shining bright.

2. Cleaning Smudges and Fingerprints

If your Metal Prints collect smudges, fingerprints, or light grime:

  • Lightly dampen a soft cloth with water or a mild household cleaner. Ensure the cloth is just damp, not soaking wet.
  • Wipe the area gently without excessive pressure. While Posterjack Metal Prints are scratch-resistant, it's still best to avoid abrasive materials that could cause surface damage.
  • Dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth to avoid streaks or moisture spots.

 

 

3. Suitable Display Conditions

Posterjack Metal Prints are built to last, even in high-humidity environments like kitchens and bathrooms—and they can even be displayed outdoors! For the best results:

  • Avoid direct, prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent any potential fading over time.
  • Refrain from using harsh cleaning pads, chemical cleaners, or solvents such as ammonia and bleach, which could harm the print’s surface.
