If you don't see rust showing in the corners of your metal wall painting, then cleaning your metal wall painting regularly with a microfiber cloth is enough. Anyway, there is nothing to worry about. We have provided you here with several ways to clean your large wall painting or outdoor wall painting and make it look new again.
If you are always tired like us, or don't want to leave the house, here are some maintenance you can try yourself at home. If the rust on your metal wall painting disappears with this method alone, you will thank us later.
Vinegar
Vinegar is a great way to remove rust from printed wall paintings because it is a weak acid. It is not only used in food, but also for cleaning metal wall paintings because of its powerful cleaning properties. All you have to do is place your work in vinegar for about 10-20 minutes or overnight if the rust is a lot. If the work cannot be completely soaked, take a paper towel, soak it in vinegar, and wrap it around the rusted part.
Baking soda
Baking soda has many uses and is another great way to safely clean metal wall decorations. All you have to do is add baking soda to water to make a thick paste. Don’t add too much water because if the paste is thin, it won’t stick to large wall art. Leave the paste on for about 30 minutes and then wipe it off with a rag.
Commercial Cleaners
If the rust is thick and won’t come off your outdoor wall art, no matter how hard you try home remedies, it’s time to go out and buy a commercial rust remover. You can use navy jelly to dissolve the rust on your metal wall art or printed wall art, or look for a product that contains oxalic acid. Either way, you should always take safety measures like wearing gloves when handling these items because they contain toxic and harsh chemicals.
Tips for Cleaning Without Causing Any Damage
When cleaning large metal wall art, outdoor wall art, or printed wall art, make sure not to use any steel wool. This is because steel wool can stick to metal wall art and cause further problems later on. If your art is delicate, use plastic scrubs and brushes, crumpled aluminum foil, and toothbrushes. If not, you can use a brass wire brush and sandpaper.
After cleaning with the cleaner, always rinse the chemicals off with water and wipe it off as quickly as possible. After everything is done and the rust is removed, a layer of polishing wax should be applied on it to prevent it from rusting again in the future.
