My name is Craig Hale. I am an interior decorator and I am helping Expert Village.com today to talk about ways to decorate your walls and different types of objects to decorate it with and also how to even arrange them on your wall. So now that it has been a week or two after you hung you artwork and all of a sudden you decide and you think it might be time to clean the house, things are a little dirty and little dusty. How do you really go about doing that the easiest way? Well obviously with the glass, the easiest thing to do is a glass cleaner and I have just found that I think it is really great this little micro fiber cloths that are some how scientifically engineered that they pick lint and dust and they do not leave any behind, unlike a paper towel. So basically squirt it down and give it a good coat and you just, this is pretty much a no brainer. What was nice about this lint free cloth is that you can use it over and over again and wash it. So you are not actually polluting the environment and it also does not leave streaks on your glass. Just step back and check your piece and adjust it; make sure it is level. Now go on to the next piece, so you decided not to have glass and use somethings that are little unusual like this cross in this basket. Well obviously you cannot use any kind of water product on here; you will take the paint and the finish off these. So the easiest thing that I have found is because if you use other than a feather duster which is not going to necessarily do this or one of the dusting clothes which is going to get hung on the rough surface of these two pieces. What I like to use is a new clean paint brush and basically you just brush it off like you are an archeologist and it just takes the dust right off and you don’t to worry about it damaging the piece and you won’t have little pieces of lint in between hanging off like cobwebs.
