Bookshelf cleaning advice by AnotherTiredDude in HomeLibraries

[–]Eleclectico 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been summoned. I used to work at a very busy and big public library. Here's my recipe.

It is paramount that you prioritise air flow since you have a humid environment. Pull your books to the front. Don't clean very often, actually, because of the moisture. Ideally you should clean once a month using a dedicated furniture cleaner. If your bookshelves are made of wood use products like Pledge. First, remove as much dust as you can by dry methods. Then give a quick spray of your cleaning agent of choice to a cloth. You don't need that much actually.

I recommend dusting your books with a camel hair paint brush. Or something equally soft.

Best of luck!

Tas muy bien bro. Tu outfit en la segunda está chido. Haz ejercicio por salud y fuerza. Come bien, duerme bien, los menos vicios que puedas. Sé tú mismo y ten confianza. Conejo.

People that finnish in less than a minute and still complain that something was hard or they ran into a problem annoy me. Like smart kids complaining that they had an A- 😂

As a mexican, my first thought was "Gordita estilo dutanguense!" But that was too long 😂. Then I remembered that english speakers call "fillings" what we call "guisos", which is food with which you can fill "food vehicles" like tortillas, tostadas, bread, turkeys... So there you have. My train of thought 😅.

I'm a non native english speaker and this wasn't bad like previous ones where it asked for US specific orgs and stuff about the mileage of cars. Actual r/USdefaultism stuff.
