Hi
I have flocked jewellery displays which are turning my jewellery – mainly silver – tarnished. Does anyone know of a way to stop this? I’ve heard it’s from the glue or fabric softener which is used – which causes this problem.

Does anyone know what I can do?

HINT: After you have cleaned your flocked trays, rub them all over with a Bounce dryer sheet. It will act as a barrier for dust and lint to stick to it. Amazing!

I always make sure I have a roll of duct tape with me at craft shows. It works wonders for getting rid of stubborn lint and hair on displays. I can also be ready the tape down loose extension cords if needed or take care of any other duct tape worthy emergencies. 🙂

Lint rollers for sure, but I love the sticky tape ball – it works really well for me!

Thanks guys! Foam paintbrush, rubber gloves and that can of air in the office are all interesting ideas! Who knew! I always come here for the best tips:)

I have a good rubber brush from Fly Lady. (I’m not in any way connected with this company.)

Lint rollers win every time. You can buy a six pack of the big ones at Costco. I always have one in my supplies for shows.

I use a can of compressed air which is sold for cleaning electronics. Works well and it is fast.

First thing I do is turn the tray inserts over and give them a quick knock against the tabletop, you’d be surprised how much lint just flies off them.
I’ll hold them up vertical then take a stiff bristled brush like a large stenciling paint brush and just brush out each section.

I just drag them over my bottom and the clothing fabric does it for me–quick and easy! When I’m setting up or putting away I do a quick swipe even though it’s not so elegant and I get a few laughs and comments.

So many ideas! I had some white velvet tray pads that had gotten smudge with dirt and hair. I used the lint roller and then used a disinfecting wipe to get the dirt. The spots dried in a matted condition so I used a lint brush to pull the nap back up. They look great! I do renaissance shows so a lot of dust. I noticed a man selling sterling on velvet pads and he did not have to remove the jewelry to clean the pads. He told me about a feather duster with the barbs. It works great!

I just redo those velvet type displays like this video from B’Sue does. I hope I’m allowed to show this.
