Like glass, however, acrylic does tend to get dirty, especially if children like to put their fingerprints all over it, so occasionally you'll have to clean off your acrylic frames.

  1. Remove any picture from the frame and set it aside so it does not get wet during cleaning.

  2. Fill a small bowl with warm water and mix in a squirt or two of mild dishwashing liquid.

  3. Moisten one of the microfiber cloths with the cleaning solution.

  4. Wipe down the frame with the moist cloth. Be gentle, applying only a little pressure when you see stubborn fingerprints. If the outside of the frame is made of acrylic as well, wipe that down too.

  5. Dry off the acrylic frame with the dry microfiber cloth. Do not let it simply air dry, as evaporating water droplets may leave a soapy residue.

Things You Will Need

  • Bowl
  • Warm water
  • Mild dish detergent
  • 2 microfiber cloths
