Want to restore a 40-year-old decoration to its former glory? Try these simple, safe cleaning tricks that won’t damage the finish.

Have you ever seen a decoration your parents kept, carrying it with them from another country or a previous marriage? Carmina realized that parents often hold onto items they've purchased in the past. While browsing Greenhill's shopping center, she stepped into  Mystic Gems by Bensani and saw so many nostalgic items that reminded her of growing up.  I pointed out to Mom Violy that she had a similar crystal tree decoration at home. She said it was forty years old and already dirty. The saleslady explained it could be cleaned easily with soap and water. Carmina decided to take Mom Violy home and bring the crystal tree decoration with her. Mom Violy questioned why she was taking it, and I said I would clean it and return it.  I noticed Mom Violy had placed planting seeds inside the decoration, for reasons I didn’t understand.

Clothes Rack that Carmina had Assemble on Her Own


Carmina had a family member who needed a clothes rack for their wet clothes after it has been through the washing machine. We are not like other people living in another country we don't have a dryer to set on a timer to dry out our wet clothes. We just hang dry our clothes in our home.

Due to the weather changes in the Philippines and having covid-19 we prefer to hang our clothing inside our home.

The family member wanted something to hold on to their clothes that won't be taking too much space in their room.

The family wanted a clothes rack that they would be able to reach and not something heavy to move around in their room.

From all the preference from the family member Carmina was able to find something that the family member needed in Quality Household Products Trading Lazada Philippines for PHP 699.00 ($13.98) not including shipping and handling.

The box had arrived Rodelo was thinking who would be assembling it up since the box was big. I had informed Rodelo I would be the one to do it in my room.


After removing all the pieces out of the box I was reading the instructions given it wasn't in English, but it is alright Carmina can figure it out having a picture where each pieces belong too.



All the bolts and nuts are complete in a plastic bag given a L Shaped Hex Wrench or called a Allen Key whatever it may be called Carmina didn't use it she wanted something less manual labor. 



Carmina had used her electric drill something that was easy to assemble everything on her own. It took her one hour to complete everything all form to be what it should be is a clothing rack used for garments.

To find where you can get a portable electric drill here is the link for you to read my article:


Carmina has always been a kid who loves to assemble things in her home and when she is visiting her sister in the United States I am the person they call to make a book shelf and so on. 

You can say even if you're a girl you can still do something like this on your own spare time.

Note:

Carmina is not selling or advertising for the clothes rack and Quality Household Products Trading Lazada Philippines just something a family member need to dry their wet clothes.
