Keeping a book shelf clean
2014-05-12
A book shelf can be one of the most treasured centrepieces of any home, but finding ways to keep it as clean as possible can be a challenge. As the standard depositing ground for any and all of your books, the regularity with which each individual item is removed and used is often fairly low. Unless you are constantly returning to and reading the same books, it can be easy for the shelf to go undisturbed for long periods of time and, as such, to build up a great deal of dust and other dirt during this time. Depending on the home, it might well be that the book shelf is hidden away in a corner and gets very little attention. But by following the below hints and tips, you can do your best to ensure that the most amount of attention as possible is provided during any deep cleaning which you choose to embark upon.
The first thing you should do when approaching any cleaning is to clear an area surrounding your book shelf. Make sure that this is not an area which you have just cleaned as you might find that you create a lot of surrounding dust and cleaners who follow the wrong order for things might often find that they end up cleaning the same area twice as a result. When you have cleared the surrounding area and found yourself some space, the next step is to remove your books. The amount of space which you have cleared will obviously depend on the amount of books which you possess, so those with especially large collections will often find themselves having to clear a very large area.
With all of your book removed and placed to the side, you will find yourself with an empty and exposed bookcase . Due to the nature of this piece of furnishing, there is often very little which will present you with an issue, and all that is required for the best possible cleaning a dry cloth and some wood polish. The use of wood polish will certainly depend on the type of material which has been used to create your shelves, but regardless of this, this process is designed to remove as much dirt and dust as possible.
For those who suffer from asthma, or anyone who is worried about irritating their breathing system with the kicking up of a large amount of dust, it might be advisable to cover your mouth with a cloth or a mask. This will prevent the dust and attendant materials from getting into your throat and lungs and causing an issue.
As you polish and dust, be sure to check into the corner and the joints which are often found in pieces of wooden furniture, making sure that you have covered as much area as possible. As the shelves are typically just flat pieces of space, the cleaning process should not take long. In order to reach the higher shelves and to clean them to a reasonable standard, you might be required to use a step ladder or something to stand on. Make sure this is placed on firm footing when used.
When the shelving unit is clear, it is time to return the books. You can use this time to arrange them in an order if you wish – perhaps alphabetical or a system with those you read more often being more accessible – but the best thing to do during the process of returning the books is to make sure that you run your duster over each book. Rather than putting dusty books back on the clean shelves, make sure that the books themselves are equally as clean.
