This guide is for cleaning Antiques or other thing up for sale on ebay just to tidy them up, after all they are Antiques so they do have some dirt and ware to them and its to be expected. I have found the best best way to tidy up an Antiques for sale or even for your home is canned air. Now im not telling you to blastt hat thing full force NO dont do that. but hold the item about 2 feet away from you HOLD IT dont sit it down we are dealing with forced air here.. and squeeze the trigger of the air very lightly  it will blow all the dust and dirt right away , when you are done us a SOFT  ONLY soft toothbrush to brush away the remains of any dirt from the item. I collect may Antiques dogs some are very very old and this is the only way I have found to clean them safely , It will not remove the paint or color  like water or a soap can . it has worked well for me for many year and all my Antiques I have and sell  look lovely. even my buyers say how nice they look when recieveing them. I always send a small card along with the item telling thme just what im saying here now.. and have had many write me back to tell me how well this works..
This canned air works well on many thing you would not even dream of as far as cleaning and dusting around  a china closet full , it just airs the dust away  in it really does work.. I also collect logo Golf balls I have about 500 in shelves, now who would wantto dust 500 golf bllls? with the canned air just a lite touch of the trigger and poof they are dusted.  what a wonderful invention . I hope this helps out  .. thank you for  reading my guide.
