Ornaments, collectables, and decorative items cleaned gently and carefully. Display cabinets and shelves cleaned too - everything arranged back neatly, looking cared-for instead of dusty.
### Those Collections Gathering Dust
You've got a **cabinet full of treasured ornaments** or shelves displaying your collectables - things you love looking at but haven't actually cleaned in... how long?
They're dusty, some are grubby, and you know they need doing but the thought of taking everything down, cleaning it all carefully, cleaning the shelves, then putting it all back perfectly is exhausting.
So they sit there looking gradually more neglected.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Regular gentle cleaning actually preserves ornaments and collectables. Dust is mildly acidic and abraded - it slowly damages finishes over time.

### Why Regular Cleaning Matters
Clean ornaments vs dusty ones:
| ✅ Regularly Cleaned | ❌ Dusty and Neglected | |---------------------|----------------------| | Colours bright and clear | Dulled by dust layer | | Details visible | Lost in grime | | Valuable items preserved | Dust slowly damages finishes | | Display looks cared-for | Looks like a charity shop | | Easy to maintain | Gets worse until it's a huge job |

Good to Know
> 📸 **Rearrangement service:** If you fancy a change in how things are displayed, I can suggest new arrangements. Sometimes a fresh layout makes a collection feel completely different. **Mixed collections?** Books, ornaments, photo frames all mixed together? No problem - I'll clean everything and arrange it all back neatly. **Particularly valuable items?** Let me know and I'll take extra care. I'm fully insured, but I understand some things are irreplaceable - I'll treat them accordingly. **Display cabinet needs attention?** While we're at it, I can tighten loose hinges, replace cabinet lights, adjust shelves - mention it when booking. **Older Exeter houses with high shelves?** Victorian and Georgian rooms often have picture rails and high shelving. I've got decent stepladders and I'm comfortable working safely at height.
Frequently Asked Questions about Ornament cleaning in Newton Abbot
What kind of ornaments can you clean?
China figurines, glass ornaments, ceramic collectables, picture frames, vases, decorative plates - basically anything that sits on display gathering dust. I'll clean each piece carefully and put it back where it came from (or rearrange however you want).
Is this service suitable for valuable collectables?
Yes - I handle everything carefully and use appropriate gentle cleaning methods. If you've got particularly valuable or fragile items (antique porcelain, delicate glass), just let me know and I'll take extra care. I'm fully insured if that gives you peace of mind.
Do you clean the display cabinets and shelves too?
Absolutely - there's no point cleaning the ornaments and putting them back on dusty shelves. I'll clean the cabinet glass, shelves, and backing while the ornaments are off, then arrange everything back nicely.
How often should ornaments be cleaned?
Every 3-6 months ideally, depending on the room. Display cabinets protect them a bit, but dust still gets in. Open shelves need doing more often - things get surprisingly grimy just sitting there.
Can you clean high shelves or items in awkward spots?
Yes - I've got stepladders and I'm comfortable reaching high shelves safely. That's often exactly why people book this service - getting to those high display shelves without risking life and limb on a wobbly chair.
