Quick Answer

Clean your Wuthering Waves acrylic standees with a soft microfiber cloth and mild soapy water, then store them upright in a dust-free case or resealable bag to prevent scratches and fading.

Why Acrylic Needs Special Care

Acrylic is durable but prone to micro-scratches that show up under light. Even a dry paper towel can leave fine marks, so always use a soft, lint-free cloth.

UV light can yellow or fade the printed artwork over time, so avoid placing standees in direct sunlight for long periods.

Dust Prevention: Better Than Cleaning

The best way to keep your standees looking new is to prevent dust from settling in the first place. Display them in a closed cabinet or use a dust cover when not on show.

When storing multiple standees, keep each one in its own bag or sleeve to avoid scratching from friction.

Step-by-Step Cleaning and Storage Guide

  1. Prepare Your Cleaning Supplies: Gather a soft microfiber cloth, lukewarm water, and a mild dish soap. Avoid paper towels, tissues, or abrasive sponges that can scratch the acrylic. Check that your cloth is lint-free before starting.
  2. Dust the Standee First: Use a dry microfiber cloth or a soft brush to gently remove loose dust from the surface. This prevents scratching when you apply moisture. Dust regularly to reduce the need for wet cleaning.
  3. Clean with Mild Soapy Water: Mix a few drops of dish soap into lukewarm water. Dampen the cloth (not dripping), then wipe the acrylic in straight lines. Avoid circular motions that can leave streaks. Never submerge the standee in water; only use a damp cloth.
  4. Rinse and Dry Immediately: Use a second cloth dampened with plain water to wipe off any soap residue, then dry with a fresh microfiber cloth. Air-dry on a clean towel if needed. Water spots can form if you let it air-dry without wiping.
  5. Store Properly to Prevent Damage: Place the standee in a resealable plastic bag or a dedicated acrylic stand sleeve. Store upright in a box or drawer, away from direct sunlight and heat. For large colored paper, store flat to avoid bending.
