One of the most common questions I get from my readers is how to disinfect their thrifted and second hand decor, so I thought it was high time I address this in a proper blog post!  I actually have TWELVE Tips for Cleaning Vintage Finds.

First of all, we need to get one thing straight.  This one is hard for people to swallow sometimes, but we need to get this one out of the way.

The world is full of germs. There. I said it. I try not to think about it too much because it starts to make my skin crawl.

You are not going to be able to eliminate all the germs in your life and really, that's Ok, there is reason to believe that germs help to stimulate our immune systems.

And, the truth is, if a Twix bar falls to the ground, I'm all about the "five second rule" and forget that germs exist. So, its a little relative even for one person.

Now, I understand there is a huge difference between my family's germs and other peoples' germs. Am I right?

Whenever I move into a new place, I have to scrub and scrub and disinfect and reline shelves until I am satisfied.   And I hate to say it, but a 100 year old home doesn't ever get cleaned as well as a newer home.  So, even after my three hours of cleaning the upstairs bathroom with bleach after we moved int, it didn't really look that much better.

I just felt better, you know? Now when the bathroom is dirty from our family, I still don't LIKE  it, but it doesn't give me the willies the same way it did when it was total stranger's dirt in there.

Ok, now that we go that out of the way, let's talk about how to handle cleaning vintage finds, so when you find that gorgeous basket or that velvet feather pillow you don't have to cringe about where it might have been all these years!
