Cleaning
Some of my army men are dirty.
So I am experimenting with ways to clean them.
I used a variety of cleaners, Oxy Clean, Simple Green, bleach, bluing, Soft Scrub, and vinegar.
These figures are at least 40 years old, probably closer to 50 years.
I was looking for the easiest way to clean hundreds of figures.
The white figures were very discolored, not just dirty. I like to use them for scientists, doctors and lab technicians so they need to be really white.
any brittleness?
ReplyDeleteI sorted out the brittle figures prior to cleaning and they were removed from my collection. The cleaning had no effect on the figures other than to clean them.
