Why Cleaning Your Christmas Ornaments Matters
For those who are putting up their Christmas ornaments for the year, they will find that after being up all season that these may be a bit dirty. Whether this is dirty from dust in the air or just from little hands touching these, these Christmas ornaments can get dirty. The key to ensuring that these ornaments last from year to year is to make sure that they are put up properly. And a huge part of putting these up and storing them is to ensure that they are clean.
Preventing Damage and Breakage: Best Practices for Handling Ornaments
The question that many people ask is just how can they clean these ornaments appropriately without damaging these? Here are a few tips to keep in mind.
– In most cases, you can simply dust these off. You can use dust wipes for a lot of these ornaments and this is not going to affect the ornament itself.
– If you do find that your solid glass ornaments or bulbs are dirty and a dust rag is not enough, wet down a cloth and wipe these down to get them shining like new.
– Make sure that if you do use anything wet on these that you let these air dry before storing them to avoid any packing paper or the like sticking to these.
– Once you have these clean be sure to store these into a clean box so that these are not going to be dirty once you unwrap them to use again on the tree.
Remember, a simple wipe down is not going to add too much time to packing these up. This is just a great idea to do so that when you unbox these next year, they will be ready to go. You will find it will be just one less thing that you will have to do in order to get ready for the upcoming season!
