🧼 How to Care for Your Collectibles: Display, Clean, Protect

Collecting Disney Traditions, Charlie Bears, or Willow Tree figurines isn’t just about buying something magical — it’s about cherishing and preserving those pieces for years to come.

At Collectible Kingdom, we know how important it is to protect your investment, whether you’re collecting for joy, nostalgia, or long-term value.

Here’s our complete guide on how to display, clean, and protect your collectibles so they stay as stunning as the day you bought them.

🖼️ 1. Display Them Like Art

A well-styled display brings your collection to life! Whether you're working with a shelf, cabinet, or dresser top:

Tips for the perfect setup:

• Use risers or boxes to create height variation

• Group by theme, character, or colour palette

• Add warm lighting with LED strips or fairy lights

• Keep aesthetic balance by leaving space between items

🧹 2. Keep Them Dust-Free

Dust is the enemy of delicate hand-painted details. Here’s how to clean your figurines safely:

• Use a soft makeup brush or artist brush to gently sweep dust away

• For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp microfibre cloth (never soak)

• Avoid strong chemicals, wipes, or abrasive materials

• Clean at least once a month to prevent build-up

Extra tip: Keep packaging stored in a cool, dry place in case you ever want to resell.

🌞 3. Protect from Sun & Heat

Many collectibles (especially resin or plush) can fade or warp when exposed to direct light or extreme temperatures.

Best protection tips:

• Display away from windows or use UV-filtering glass

• Avoid placing near radiators, heaters, or humid environments

• If possible, rotate pieces on display seasonally to spread exposure

🐾 4. Keep Away from Pets & Small Children (When Necessary)

While many collectibles are safe and sturdy, others (especially limited-edition figurines) may be fragile.

Secure your display by:

• Choosing wall-mounted shelves or enclosed glass cabinets

• Avoiding low placement in high-traffic or playful areas

• Using museum putty to secure lightweight pieces

🛍️ 5. Store Packaging & Tags

Original boxes and tags add value — especially for Charlie Bears and Disney Traditions. Keep them in good condition by:

• Storing in a labelled plastic storage box

• Keeping tags attached to plush where safe (or storing them inside)

• Including any certificates or info cards in an envelope nearby
