Before Summer

As temperatures rise, it’s crucial to prepare your antiques for warmer weather. Ensure they are stored in a climate-controlled environment to prevent warping or fading. Dust regularly using a soft cloth to keep surfaces clean.

Mid-Season Checks

During the mid-season, conduct a thorough inspection of your antiques. Look for signs of wear or damage, and address any issues promptly to avoid further deterioration. This is also a good time to rearrange items to ensure they are displayed correctly and safely.

Efficiency Tips

To maintain efficiency in your antique care routine, create a schedule for cleaning and inspections. Use specific cleaning products designed for antiques, and avoid harsh chemicals that can cause damage.

Filters & Hygiene

Ensure that your display areas have proper air filtration to reduce dust accumulation. Regularly clean the filters in your home’s HVAC system to maintain a healthy environment for your antiques.

Warranty Reminders

If your antiques come with warranties or restoration agreements, keep copies of all documentation in a safe place. Be aware of the terms and conditions to ensure you can make claims if necessary.
