How to Keep The Dust OFF Your Collectibles
Keeping Dust away from your collectibles can be difficult, especially if you have kept them in the open air. For that reason, knowing about the cleaning hacks and tricks that prevent Dust from accumulating on your collectibles is beneficial. A dusty and dirty collectible is not a good display and does not entice people to pay a reasonable price.
Dust is the Enemy
Dust is the ultimate enemy of a collector, and Dust will always find a way to your collectible. If you have an open-air collection, you will lose the battle against Dust as a collector unless you stay on top of it. You have to be very diligent with the cleaning and maintenance as well.
What to Use?
The tools that you need to use for cleaning will entirely depend on the collectible you have. If you have giant figurines and statues, you can use a duster, and you can use it for the countertops where your collectibles sit.
Dusting display cases and compartments where you store the collectibles is just as important as cleaning the collectibles. Another helpful tool that can enhance your collectible cleaning includes make-up brushes.
You can easily find makeup brushes at any store. These are incredible for dusting off your precious collectibles. The makeup brushes are incredibly soft and will quickly find their way into all the crannies and nooks you are struggling with.
Whatever collectible you have, makeup brushes can do the trick when trying to get the Dust away. Dust will be flying off from your collectibles. You can find different sizes of makeup brushes, and each brush can help clean different hinges and grooves of a collectible.
How Often Should you Dust?
The general rule of thumb when dusting your collectibles is to dust them about once a week. If you go longer than a week, you will find that the Dust is settling on the collectibles. Some collectors make the mistake of never dusting their items, which leaves a giant thick layer on the statue.
It can damage the paint and create a film on the collectible. If you ever want to resell your collectible, having a significant layer of Dust will not help your case. Make sure you sell it to someone who appreciates the Dust and it feels new to them. It is crucial to keep up with these statues and spend time taking care of them if you want to maintain their resale value.
