Batik paintings are not meant to be washed, as water and detergents can cause damage. 

Use a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster to remove surface dust, for framed pieces behind glass, clean the glass only. 

Never use sprays, solvents, or cleaning products on the fabric itself or on the frame.

UV rays can fade the vibrant dyes over time. 

Moisture can cause mold or degrade the artwork, ideal humidity is around 40–60%.

Avoid placing batik near heaters, fireplaces, or air conditioners as sudden temperature changes can cause damages to the batik or the frame.

Glass or acrylic frames give better protection to the surface from dust, moisture, and accidental contact. 

If not framed, roll the batik with acid-free tissue paper, never fold it — creases can break the dye lines. 

If needed, place a cloth or oven paper under and over the batik and use low heat when ironing.
