When I started collecting pewter figurines a few years ago, I recognized it as a sound investment. I like the fact that they are always sitting in their accustomed spot on the mantel, just waiting to be admired. Unfortunately, as with any collectibles, they seem to attract dust like a magnet. While dusting and cleaning aren’t my favorite parts of the day, they are chores that must be done in this case.
Bear in mind that washing the figurines should be your last resort. Stick to dusting them or blowing over them with a hair dryer to eliminate dust and debris. Fairy figurines have delicate butterfly wings attached, and it’s best to avoid handling these fragile parts wherever possible. Caring for your collectibles is simple, and it will make them that much more attractive to the eyes of your guests.
