Nothing is better than being recognized for your hard work. Receiving an award is exciting, and while you may want to keep your award on display, you may also be wondering how to maintain the quality of your award or trophy. Awards and Engraving is providing tips and tricks to maintain your trophies in Baytown, TX.
Avoid Sunlight
Although you may want to display your awards it is important to make sure they do not sit in the direct sunlight. The exposure can cause silver or gold-plated awards to crack or bubble and wood awards to fade over time. Once this damage is made, there is no way to repair the award to its original condition. Try to keep displays or display cases away from windows, finding the perfect position to display your awards is key.
Keep Away from Moisture
Making sure to keep your awards and trophies out of areas with extremely high moisture is very important. This includes areas such as bathrooms, basements and kitchens. The build-up of moisture can make metal rust and wood warp, causing the trophies and awards to lose their beautiful look. Moisture is one of the biggest enemies of awards and trophies and yet the easiest to forget about when picking a display area.
Use Air to Dust Often
Your trophy or award is bound to collect dust. It is important to make sure you dust often and use canned air. Dusting often will help keep the overall quality of your award at its best. Using canned air allows for a chemical-free dusting that gets down into every part of the award. Air can get into crevices that rags are unable to reach, making sure that dust doesn’t sit in hidden places tarnishing the award or trophy.
