How do I clean and care for my city piece?

Dust the glass, the acrylic and the resin with a soft dry cloth, and keep glass cleaner, alcohol and paper towels off the acrylic and the resin: they cloud and scratch the gloss. Keep the resin out of hours of strong sun. Wash the beanie by hand in cold water, inside out, and dry it flat.

How do I clean the acrylic panel?

With a soft dry microfiber cloth, and nothing else. The glass shards are sealed inside the acrylic, so you only ever touch the clear frame and its polished edges. Glass cleaner, alcohol and paper towels cloud acrylic and leave fine scratches.

How do I clean the glitter resin panel?

A dry cloth for dust, a damp one for a fingerprint, then the dry one again.

How do I clean the suncatcher and the ornament?

Dust the glass with a soft dry cloth, following the lead lines rather than scrubbing across them. Do not soak either one or put it in a dishwasher; a cloth barely damp with water lifts a window mark.

How do I wash the beanie?

Gently, so the print stays sharp. This is the routine we suggest for a printed knit:

  • Turn it inside out.
  • Wash it by hand in cold water with a mild detergent.
  • Press the water out in a towel; do not wring it.
  • Dry it flat, away from a radiator and out of the dryer.
  • Never iron over the print.
