When we are tire, we may want to sit in front of crystal figurine to enjoy our beauty crystal figurine collection which we collect year after year. However, our crystal figurines inside cabinet may look cluttered as we keep on place with new collection.
A good idea to collect crystal figurine is to theme crystal figurine collection. These themes are limited by the figurines we collected and display it based on our imagination.
For example, we may have a theme called Happy Zoo. Then we can group and display together our figurines like crystal horse, crystal elephant, Reindeer, etc. Likewise, if we have few cuties crystal figurines, then we can have theme called Cuties World to display crystal figurine like Mickey Mouse.
How to Take Care of Crystal Figurine
The best way to clean crystal is with a soft dry cloth or Micro-Fiber glove. If necessary, use a small amount of glass cleaner on the cloth and wipe gently.Do not submerge crystal items in water or spray a liquid cleaner directly on crystal figurines. The use of liquid cleaners on crystal figurines may affect the gluing process, particularly on colored items.

Crystal Figurine Cleaning Tips
Some people clean their Swarovski with a mild soap and water. This is fine, but be very careful as the piece could become very slippery and fall out of your hands. A recommendation was given to me for a safer and more effective way to clean them with minimal risk. Go to any automotive store (like Autozone, NAPA, Pepboys, etc.)and buy a gallon of windshield washer fluid. Mix this gallon 50/50 with distilled water. Place a towel on a glass top table or a kitchen counter.Put your Swarovski pieces on the towel, spreading them out at least 6" apart. Spray the mixture of washer fluid and water directly on the crystal. Be generous and spray them till they are dripping wet. THAT'S IT! Come back to them in about 1 hour. They will be dry and dirt and dust free. No rubbing or wiping is needed. Place them back in your cabinet.
I do recommend using the gloves provided in the Swarovski Cleaning Kit to handle your newly cleaned and sparkling pieces. If you don't a cleaning kit, one can be purchased on this website.The brush included in the kit is great when cleaning pieces with hard to reach areas, like the hedge hogs! Please do not clean items on any wood counters as the fluid could damage the surface underneath the towel. We recommend that you try this method with a single item first and see if you get the desired results.
