SP: Easy ways to maintain your house decor (Gopi)

Akshara
Maintaining home dcor is quite easy. Take out 10-15 minutes every day from your hectic schedule and dust one room at a time.

The dcor can be different for different homes but remember to keep the clutter out. Don't just buy any furnishing or show piece simply because it looks good. Each and every piece should add to the beauty of your home, so choose wisely.

Use small scattered rugs that can be washed easily in any detergent.

Rub silver cutlery with lemon and wipe with cloth dipped in warm water.

Soak the small decoration pieces in warm water mixed with any light detergent powder for some time, and later rinse with plain water. Wipe them dry with a fresh cloth, and each item will shine like new.

The window sills, hooks, curtain rods, etc can be washed with a cleaning agent and wiped with dry cloth.

Polish the show pieces and every item of the house dcor. Tackle one room at a time. Polish the bronze pieces with lemon and clean with a dry cloth for that extra shine.

Regular dusting of the show pieces will prevent dust accumulation on display items. Use small brushes or a used old toothbrush for delicately carved pieces.

I love Rajasthani artefacts. Antiques add an old-world charm to your dcor. I see to it that the curtains and linen are washed regularly.

The mattresses and pillows should be plumped on a daily basis. Keep them in the sun once in a fortnight to kill the dust mites.
