Essential Tools for Cleaning & Restoring Antiques
Hi, I’m Peg — I run a couple of antique booths and spend a lot of time cleaning, fixing, photographing, and shipping vintage finds. Over the years, I’ve learned which products are gentle, which ones actually work, and which ones to avoid. This list is everything I personally use in my booths and at home. Nothing fancy, nothing complicated — just reliable tools that keep antiques looking their best without damaging the history they carry. If you’re new to reselling, setting up a booth, or just love giving old pieces a second life, I hope this helps make the process easier and a lot more fun
