How to Clean Plexiglass Frames

When your frame needs to be cleaned please follow these instructions.

1. Lay an old towel on your work counter.
2. Take the frame off the wall and lay it on the towel picture side up.
3. Blow off any dust and then wipe with a soft damp (not wet) cloth. For fingerprints use a weak solution of dish detergent and water.
4. Gently dry the plexiglas with a clean soft cloth to avoid water marks
5. When scratches are present, use a plastic cleaner such as Novus or Brillianize to remove scuffs. Always spray the product on the soft clean cloth and not directly on the frame.
6. Never use Windex, any product containing ammonia, or your fingers on Plexiglas, as this will scratch it.

European Buying Trip

Natasha and David have just had another great show at their two locations at Round Top, Texas. It was rainy, it was full of bugs, we were deep in mud, we were busy, we were selling and we are happy.
For the Spring Round Top we will have a slot in the new book for Round Top: Parisian Cowboy’s Guide to the Round Top Experience.
