How to take care of your awards, a few simple tips.
You’re the proud owner of a new trophy, medal or award – congratulations! No doubt you worked very hard to win it.
If you want to show off your trophies and medals purchased with Jaycee Trophies and you are not ready just yet to throw them in the loft, it is important to look after your medals and trophies.
Avoid your own trophy, medal and award cleaning disasters with these three tips:
- Clean resin and pewter trophies with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Give your silver and silver-plated wares a monthly clean with a silver cloth, polishing in one direction only – never in circles.
- To reduce tarnishing, keep your silver and silver-plated trophies and awards in a display cabinet with some silica gel for extra protection. (The little sachets that you sometimes find in shoeboxes come in handy, they help reduce humidity.)
- To clean wooden trophy bases, use furniture polish sprayed onto a soft dusting cloth.
- Never use a dishwasher (or Brillo pads).
