Sorting out the Christmas tree and all the decorations that go along with it can be a rather big job. I cannot stress enough how much easier this job is when everything is stored properly. Make sure that water cannot get near your decorations if you would like to put them out next year.
When you pull them out this year a quick clean before they get put out will go a long way to making everything sparkle. Make sure you have a feather duster, micro-fibre cloth and if you have really old and delicate decorations wear gloves while handling them.
Plastic, resin, ceramic and metal decorations can be cleaned by dusting them. If they are still dirty you can use a light spray of Blendwell Chemicals Window Cleaner as we discussed in part one. Be sure to wipe off a clean cloth afterwards. You could also clean them with a solution of Blendwell Chemicals Greendet and water. Simply squirt a little Greendet into a sink full of water and put a cloth in the solution. Wring out cloth and clean your decorations. Wipe all your decorations afterwards with another cloth to wipe away any residual chemical. Never soak decorations or allow them to get too wet. They are delicate so please don’t clean too vigorously.
A micro-fibre cloth will go a long way in helping you clean your decorations particularly your wooden ones. These cloths are very gentle and don’t tend to scratch so you can use them to clean most of your decorations even if they just need a wipe.
Garlands that are made up of leaves may need a little bit of a dust too. Shaking or using a duster will most likely break these decorations. Rather use a hairdryer on a low setting to blow dust off.
To make this job easier next year find dry, dust-free storage for your decorations when you pack away your decorations after Christmas.
