Protecting Family Treasures

Family heirlooms around your home need special care. Protect breakables by using mild cleaners, a feather duster, and a gentle touch. To wash crystal in your sink, put a towel down first to prevent chips and cracks. Use dish soap, vinegar, and water to make it sparkle. Museum wax keeps the heirlooms securely on shelves. For heavier pieces use Velcro strips to keep them safe. It only takes a few minutes to make sure your family treasures are around for years to come.
