Clean Your Toys - The Lazy Way

If you are a toy collector, I bet one of your most favorite part of the house is the room where you keep all your toy collections.

Now most of the time, toy collectors prefer to take the toys out of the box and put them on display. But in a short time, DUST will begin to build up on your precious toys.

As we all know, dust are:

- harmful to your lungs
- they make toys look old
- covers the gloss and actual color of toys
- when not removed, it tends to pile up and cause more harmful effect.

If you have a number of toys, cleaning might be difficult since you need to take the toy, remove dust with a brush, wipe with wet cloth then wipe it dry. What if you have a hundred of them and you don't have enough time to rearrange your collection?

I have discovered something cheap that will make your toys clean and look new instantly. Now there are two methods of cleaning you can choose, the lazy way or the regular way.
I'm gonna teach you how to clean the lazy way since it's the topic of this article.

Alright you just need 3 items:

1. A cleaning duster
2. Cradle Toy & Surface Cleaner
3. Baby Wipes

Just want to clear out that this post is not sponsored by any third parties and it is based on my experience.

I do recommend using the cleaner dust first depending on the intensity of dust. Next lightly spray your toys with Cradle Toy and Surface Cleaner.

Yes it is meant for baby's toys. It's mild and non-toxic so you can be sure it's also safe on your action figures.

Product claims it has no synthetic fragrance but there's a baby fragrance to it.

Now why do I recommend using the duster first before spraying? It is because when dust and this baby toy cleaner combine, you won't like the smell!

Another thing is they will form some dust residue especially on flat surfaces where dust usually settle.

Okay now spray evenly on the toy and making sure it penetrates corners and shallow areas.

Leave it to dry for 10 minutes then wipe it with a clean cloth.

From there you will see some progress where dark paints changes from dull to vibrant. It's like an Armor All counterpart used in car dashboards that restores shine. It's also safe on whites because it is clear type.
 
Below is the actual photo of the Star Wars Saga Collections Death Star Gunner after spraying. I did not wipe it with any cleaning cloth until now. Actually I did not took every toys from the shelf but instead I just sprayed some amount and leave to dry.

It's been a couple of weeks now and it still has that new look. I think the spray contain some sort of shield against dust. If you're not satisfied, you can wipe it with baby wipes to clear some spray residues.

This is an instant cleaning solution when you knew you're friends are coming over to see your collections or you just have no time yet but want to get rid of dust immediately.

Just be sure to wear some gloves and dust mask and you're good to go.
