Are you taking care of your moulding correctly? Proper maintenance of your moulding ensures they remain beautiful and durable for years to come! 

Follow these simple steps to care for and preserve your moulding:

  1. Regular Dusting:
  2. Use a soft, dry cloth or a duster to remove dust from your moulding.
  3. Dust at least once a week to prevent buildup, especially in detailed areas.
  4. Gentle Cleaning:
  5. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap mixed with water.
  6. Dampen a soft cloth with the solution, then gently wipe the moulding.
  7. Avoid soaking the wood, as excess moisture can cause warping or damage.
  8. Inspect for Damage:
  9. Regularly check for signs of cracks, gaps, or chips in the moulding.
  10. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
  11. Touch-Up Paint or Stain:
  12. If your moulding is painted or stained, touch up any areas where the finish has worn off.
  13. Use matching paint or stain to maintain a consistent appearance.
  14. Prevent Moisture Exposure:
  15. Keep moulding away from sources of excessive moisture, such as leaky windows or damp basements.
  16. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent humidity-related issues.
  17. Protect from Impact:
  18. Be mindful of furniture placement and avoid bumping heavy objects against moulding.
  19. Consider adding corner protectors in high-traffic areas.
