#1 Rule : Do Not
Throw Away Anything Before a Professional Evaluates It.
Take special care: Heat, sunlight and humidity are antiques worst enemy . Make sure to keep special
items away from heat vents, windows and portable humidfiers.
Always remove rubber bands and plastic wrap from
china and silver . These can cause permanent damage.
Stickers can be removed from glass and mirrors with plain
vinegar.
Never try to clean a painting yourself. Always rely on a professional.
