Toy collecting tip of the day - 13

December 9, 2009 | By Juliana Heng In Overview of collecting toys, Toy care |

Marvel Universe Green Hulk action figure.How to remove light dust from your toys - You can use make up brushes with soft bristles (non-branded ones will do) to brush off light dust from your toys.  The make up brushes come in many shapes and sizes to suit your toys.  Paint brushes on the other hand tend have bristles that are too hard. 

But this method works provided that the dust is non-sticky and has not formed a stubborn layer on your toys.  If it is that bad already, then light brushing won’t work.  You can use wet wipes to rub off those stubborn sticky dust layers.  How much of the dust layer you can clean off will depend on how ‘durable to rubs’ your toy is.  In short, don’t display your loose toys in the open for too long.

      It’s better to display our toys in the glass cabinets..

      Hi deSMOnd,

      Some toys will eventually ’stray’ outside the glass cabinets :P

      For a simpler way, use CyberClean.
