Ordinary domestic cleaning products and methods are unsuitable for delicate objects and interiors as they can cause serious and irreversible damage. By employing techniques that we use in palaces, museums, and historic houses we can care for your home and collection.
Knowing what not to do to an object or interior is just as important as knowing what to do, which is why seeking help from professionals can ultimately save you time, money, and heartache. Improper handling and movement of objects can also cause serious damage.
Unfortunately, a lack of cleaning can also damage objects and interiors. A build-up of dust and dirt attracts moisture and insects both of which are very harmful.
Conservation cleaning techniques will naturally vary according to the material being cleaned; however, the uniting principle is that the method should be as non-invasive as possible. This is in order to preserve the physical and historical integrity of your object.
Conservation cleaners, therefore, do not use harsh chemicals or cleaning products but rather employ museum-approved cleaning techniques to gently remove dust and dirt.
We tailor our techniques to the object or interior, and have deep cleaned; curtains, furniture, ‘sculpture and objects’, molding, staircases, ‘chandeliers and lighting’. We go above and beyond to make sure we reach and remove every last piece of dust!
