 >> The challenge at home is primarily humidity. Watch out for signs of fungal growth, which would appear as black spots or discolouration.
>> Try to air rooms periodically between showers.
>> Allow air to circulate. Install dehumidifiers if possible.
>> Keep artworks away from damp and leaking areas.

 >> Getting rid of damp air is a must to preserve canvas oil paintings that are not glassed and are exposed to air. DampRid products will remove excess moisture from the air. If you see discolouring or mould forming, get professional help from a gallery.
>> For photographs, once a week, pull them out of the photo frame and clean and wipe the glass with a dry cloth. Replace after cleaning. This helps in not letting them get stuck to the glass.
