TIME FOR SPRING CLEANING YOUR COLLECTIBLES.

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring! All the dust bunnies and grime that collects over the winter season is now there for us to dust and clean off and put that "like new" face on everything again.
As much as I hate to think of doing it, I always remember how good it feels to look around and see everything looking fresh and new again. So I was attracted to this article about spring cleaning collectibles. At least it is a start in the process. I will keep looking for other tips and hints and, hopefully, some time and back saving methods to pass on to you.

I know that just because the calendar says that it is Spring; Mother Nature has her own calendar. So if you live somewhere in the areas that she has a different timeframe going for you, just start thinking about the process and your time will come. Spring cleaning is also an excellent opportunity for you to closely look at your "collections" and make decisions about what stays, what is added to and what leaves. Ways to do all of the above will be explored in future updates to this blog. If any one you have any of your personal methods to make spring cleaning less painful, please add them as comments to this post. I'm sure everyone will appreciate any suggestions.

Spring Into the Cleaning Mode!:

Pottery, Ceramics, China

When your home is filled with or cluttered with Collectibles, it can be a little intimidating to think about cleaning them all. And even though I never consciously think 'it's time to spring clean' -- this is the time of the year I start pulling stuff off the shelves, weeding out, and putting away. To sum it up, it's when I start looking with disgust at the layer of grime on the kitchen cookie jars. It might be the cheery daffodil blooms that set off that inner alarm clock, but I tend to think it's the prolific sprouting of garage sale signs that does it.
Most of the time a good dusting will do the job and for those days two products that I won't be without are Swiffer Dusters and Pledge Furniture Wipes. But there comes a time in the life of all collectors when dusting is just not going to cut it.

Figurines -- I would never, ever, wash these in soap and water. If dusting doesn't get it, use a barely-damp soft cloth (old t-shirts are best) to clean the pieces.
