How to Care for Your Trophies or Awards

If you have won any trophies or awards, it is important to know how to take care of them. This will ensure that they last for a long time and look great. In this blog post, we will discuss how to clean different types of trophies and awards. We will also provide tips on how to pack and store them properly. Let's get started! 

1. 1. Cleaning Your Trophies and Awards 

You should clean your trophies and awards at least once a year to prevent dirt and dust from building up. For most types of trophies and awards, a simple dusting with a soft cloth will suffice. Note: If your trophy or award is made of wood, you should take special care to avoid damaging the finish. Dust the trophy with a soft, dry cloth and then polish it with furniture wax or polish. If you have a metal award or trophy, you can use a mild soap and water solution to clean it. You may also want to use a metal polish to make the trophy or award shine. If you have them, be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions carefully before using any cleaning solutions or polishes on your trophy. 

 

2. 2. Storing Your Trophies and Awards 

When you're not displaying your trophies and awards, it's important to store them properly so they don't get damaged. If possible, store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Wrap each trophy or award in a soft cloth before placing it in a box or storage container. You may also want to consider storing your trophies and awards in a display case to keep them dust-free and protected from damage. 

 

3. 3. Transporting Your Trophies and Awards 

When it's time to move, you'll want to take special care to pack your trophies and awards so that they don't get damaged in transit, especially if they are glass awards. First, wrap each trophy or award in a soft cloth. If you have the original packaging, you can use that to protect the trophy or award during transport. If not, a box or storage container will work just fine. Be sure to pack the trophies and awards securely so they don't move around during the move.  

 

We hope these tips have helped you learn how to care for your trophies and awards. With a little bit of TLC, your trophies will stay looking their best for years to come!
