How do you keep displayed ponies from getting dusty? Lambswool and swiffer dusters just don't get clean enough for me. I have to move, wipe, and vacuum all about 1000 each week. Has anyone tried canned air? Do you think it would just destroy their hair styles?
 
I wipe them down with a cloth when I remember to do so. I'm terrible about dusting. :blush:

But if they get too dusty, it's a quick rinse under the faucet.

Well I keep mine in a cabinet so, I don't have this issue, but my petites get dusty and I wash them.

I do have my besties in a case and they don't need dusting. ;)
 
I would have too many to wash so im thinking of heavy curtians and lots of shelving units I also have 2 glass cases. Theres a method to my madness.
 
My collection is small, so just a rag and water for me. (Not that I dust regularly!! I feel bad, because my dad had to spend the night in my room while I was at a sleepover once (my mom needs nearly 24 hour care and they no longer share a room. Long story.) and said the dust made him cough a lot.) I would think canned air would just move the dust around, not get them clean, so I wouldn't try it myself. I've wondered if a vacuum with an attachment would be faster, but since ponies are plastic and have a shape to them, I don't this this would actually work!

I've tried my vacuum. It's great for the displays, but murder on manes and tails.

Do a shelf a week from now til eternity?:winkpony:

I've just finished cleaning all my 700+ ponies, it took me a couple of years. I was photographing them all for my catalogue. But shortly after we moved 4 years ago I realized that my G3s had never been cleaned since I bought then mib. 10 years of dust!:shock:
