Epoxy Care Guide

Thank you for choosing a Trujillo Studio piece! Each item is crafted with love and dedication to bring vibrant creativity into your home. To keep your epoxy table or wall art looking beautiful for years to come, please follow these care instructions.

General Care Tips

  • Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth or a microfiber duster to gently remove dust from the surface of your epoxy table or wall art. This will help maintain the shine and keep your piece looking vibrant.

  • Avoid Abrasives: Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads on the epoxy surface, as they can cause scratches. Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cloths and cleaners to protect the finish.

  • Clean Spills Promptly: Wipe up spills immediately using a soft, damp cloth. While epoxy is resistant to stains, it’s always best to prevent any liquid from sitting on the surface for too long.

Cleaning Instructions

  • Mild Soap and Water: For deeper cleaning, use warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Dampen a soft cloth, wipe the surface, and follow up with a dry cloth to prevent water spots.

  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach or acetone. These can damage the epoxy surface over time, causing cloudiness or discoloration.

Preventing Damage

  • Protect from Heat: Avoid placing hot objects like pots, pans, or mugs directly on the epoxy surface. Use trivets or coasters to protect your table from heat marks and preserve its finish.

  • Use Coasters and Placemats: Placemats and coasters are your table’s best friends. They help protect the surface from scratches, spills, and excessive moisture.

  • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep sharp objects away from the epoxy surface to prevent scratches. Consider using a decorative tray for items like keys to avoid any accidental damage.

Avoid Direct Sunlight

  • Minimize UV Exposure: Direct sunlight over extended periods can cause fading or yellowing of epoxy surfaces. Position your table or wall art away from direct sunlight. Use curtains or blinds to limit UV exposure.

Polishing for Extra Shine

  • Use a Gentle Furniture Polish: To keep your epoxy table extra shiny, you can occasionally use a non-silicone-based furniture polish. Apply it sparingly with a soft cloth, following the manufacturer’s directions.

Wall Art Specific Care

  • Hang Securely: Ensure that your wall art is hung securely using appropriate hardware. This will help prevent accidents and keep your art safe.

  • Avoid Moisture: Do not hang your wall art in areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms, as excessive moisture can affect the epoxy finish over time.

Long-Term Maintenance

  • Inspect Regularly: Periodically inspect your table or wall art for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any dull spots or minor scratches, you can use a high-quality epoxy polishing compound to restore the shine.

  • Avoid Heavy Impact: Epoxy is durable but not indestructible. Be mindful of dropping heavy items or applying force, which can cause dents or chips.
