Time to Clean

If you have lace panels or curtains, wash them frequently to keep them pristine. If the result is still on the greyer side of white, soak them in a solution of biological detergent to restore the whiteness or use a proprietary whitener.  Rehang the curtains while they’re damp and ensure they keep their shape by running a thin rod through each hem to weigh them down until the fabric is dry.

Blind spot, vacuum blinds and curtains on a low-suction setting using the upholstery nozzle of your vacuum cleaner. Restore the sparkle to a chandelier by giving it a thorough cleaning. Turn off the electricity first, then remove as many of the pendants and ornaments as possible from the light fitting. Clean them with a warm solution of washing liquid, then pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Then keep leather furniture in tip-top condition: Dust it first, remove grime by wiping the surface with a soft, damp cloth then apply leather conditioner to keep it supple and protect the leather against stains.
