Touch of Tapestry Tapestries Hanging Care and Safety-Tapestries and Luxurious Tapestry Decor

Tapestries can be hung 1 1/2 to 3 inches away from wall. It is recommended that a tapestry not be hung right up against wall due to possible mold and mildew build-up.

We recommend you do not hang your tapestry in direct sunlight or near direct heat, as this can fade and/or shrink the tapestry.

Your tapestry may have some slight creases due to warehousing and shipping. This is normal for any linen or material object. We recommend that you iron the tapestry on a flat surface using a medium iron (some steam may be necessary). Place a bedsheet or any dye-free sheet over the tapestry first to protect the tapestry. Test in a corner or back of tapestry first.

Safety: We all know that children and pets can be curious, and you can't always control what little hands, paws and claws do.

Please be mindful of this if considering tassels as they can create a possible strangulation risk for small children and cats.

Cleaning: We recommend that a tapestry just be dusted with a soft cloth. You can keep a tapestry clean for many years with just light dusting. If you choose to clean your tapestry with more than dusting, then we highly recommend you choose a dry cleaner with experience in cleaning tapestries. Please do not wash in washing machine.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
