When it comes to displaying cherished memories in your home, canvas prints have been a popular choice for years. However, there’s one big problem with traditional canvas: it’s not water-friendly. Accidental spills, humid rooms, and general wear can lead to permanent damage, fading, or even mold on a typical canvas. Fortunately, FrameStory offers a solution with water-repellent, machine-washable fabric prints that allow you to display memories without the worry.
Let’s take a look at why water is an issue for traditional canvas prints and how FrameStory’s fabric prints offer a revolutionary, easy-care alternative.
The Problem with Water and Canvas Prints
Canvas prints may look great on the wall, but they’re far from water-resistant. Here are some common issues water can cause with a standard canvas print:
- Stains and Spots: Even a small splash of water can leave stains or cause the canvas to warp. Once a traditional canvas print is damaged by water, it’s nearly impossible to restore it to its original condition.
- Fading and Warping in Humid Environments: Canvas is prone to absorbing moisture from the air, especially in humid rooms like bathrooms or kitchens. Over time, this can lead to fading, warping, or even a dull, mildewed appearance.
- Mold and Mildew: If water gets trapped in the canvas fibers, mold and mildew can develop, permanently damaging the print and making it unsightly (and even unhealthy).
Traditional canvas prints are beautiful but high-maintenance. They require careful placement and a watchful eye to avoid water damage. For families with kids or homes in humid areas, this can be a constant worry.
Why FrameStory Fabric Prints are a Water-Friendly Alternative
At FrameStory, we believe displaying your memories should be easy and worry-free. That’s why we use a unique fabric blend designed to resist water and stains while being completely washable.
Here’s what makes FrameStory’s fabric prints so ideal:
1. Machine Washable and Easy Care
Our fabric prints are made from a durable 90/10 Polyester Micro Fiber/Spandex blend, which means they can handle real-life spills. If an accident happens, simply remove the fabric and wash it on a gentle cycle with cool water. No need to panic over a coffee spill or a little dirt—our prints are designed to stay fresh and vibrant.
2. Water Repellent Material
The 4-way stretch fabric we use is water repellent, which provides extra protection in humid environments or rooms where moisture might be a concern. You can display FrameStory prints in any room—living rooms, bathrooms, or even kitchens—without worrying about moisture ruining the material.
3. Dye-Sublimation Printing for Long-Lasting Quality
Unlike traditional canvas prints where the image sits on the surface, FrameStory’s dye-sublimation process embeds the image directly into the fabric fibers. This process not only ensures vibrant colors but also adds durability, so your images won’t scratch, peel, or fade, even with repeated washing.
How to Care for Your FrameStory Fabric Prints
Caring for FrameStory fabric prints is simple. Here are a few easy tips to keep your memories looking pristine:
- Machine Wash on Gentle Cycle with Cool Water: Our fabric prints are designed to be washed without losing color or shape.
- Skip the Bleach and Softeners: These can damage the fabric’s finish.
- Line Dry or Tumble Dry Low: Avoid high heat to maintain the integrity of the material.
- Professional Dry Cleaning (Optional): For extra care, you can have your print professionally dry cleaned.
