<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 233407, member: 1476"]I wouldn't do too much cleaning until you know what you have inherited that might have resale value (if that's your concern) and, if then. In many instances, (too) aggressive cleaning damages an item and affects its value. Also, you'll be giving yourself a lot of work and likely incurring some cost in cleaning supplies. Best to post photographs of small groupings of items, starting perhaps with a category you think has greater value (e.g. antique fans), and wait for input. Of course, dust or shake before photographing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
