It isn't quite spring yet, although the almond trees in our street seem to think it is and are already supporting fragile pink blossoms.....so thoughts turn to spring cleaning. My many and various dolls houses are basically covered in dust, and how exactly to spruce them up without displacing or damaging anything is a tough call. On a recent visit to a National Trust property, I discovered that they vacuum their delicates on the lowest possible suction with a muslin cloth held over the nossle with an elastic band. That's a thought......but I am not sure I'm brave enough to try it with my miniatures.
