Quick answer

To keep your Genshin Impact 5th Anniversary Acrylic Shikishi looking its best, display it away from direct sunlight and dust it gently with a microfiber cloth.

Why display placement matters

Acrylic shikishi are prone to scratching and fading if placed in high-traffic areas or near windows. Sunlight can cause the printed artwork to yellow or fade over time, so choose a spot with indirect light.

Cleaning without damage

Never use paper towels or rough fabrics on acrylic surfaces—they leave micro-scratches. A soft microfiber cloth and a tiny amount of water is all you need to remove dust. Avoid alcohol or ammonia-based cleaners.

Display and care steps

  1. Choose a safe location: Place the shikishi on a stable shelf or desk away from direct sunlight, heat vents, and high humidity areas like bathrooms. Indirect light prevents fading and yellowing over time.
  2. Handle with clean hands: Hold the shikishi by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints or oils on the acrylic surface. If you must touch the front, wear cotton gloves. Oils from skin can dull the finish if not cleaned promptly.
  3. Dust regularly with a microfiber cloth: Gently wipe the acrylic side with a dry, clean microfiber cloth once a week. For stubborn spots, dampen the cloth slightly with water and wipe immediately. Never use paper towels or abrasive sponges—they will scratch the acrylic.
  4. Avoid stacking or leaning: Store or display the shikishi upright and separate from other items. If stacking multiple shikishi, place a soft felt or paper sheet between each. Stacking without protection can cause surface scratches or bending.
  5. Store in a cool, dry place: If not on display, keep the shikishi in its original packaging or a flat archival sleeve. Avoid attics or basements with temperature swings. Stable temperature and low humidity prevent warping and adhesive degradation.
