You found a vintage treasure that will be the perfect accessory for your entryway or mantle. There is a problem though, it is filthy! If the price is right and the structure is good go ahead and buy it and use these three tips to freshen it up when you get home.</p> <p><strong>Hot, hot, hot water! </strong></p> <p>Gunky residue? Marker? Sticky plant matter? Dirt? Hot water is the first step in the cleaning process. Try a pair of dish gloves if the heat</p> <p><strong>Baking Soda</strong></p> <p>Baking soda will act as a cleaning agent and a gentle scrub to tackle dirt particles. It is also a green way to clean since there are no harmful chemicals.</p> <p><strong>Dollar tore tooth brush</strong></p> <p>This is a tip that I learned from my dad. A tooth brush will take that hot water/ baking soda mixture and kick it up! The bristles will help you get into every nook and crevice of your vintage treasure. Be sure to scrub in a circular motion for the best coverage. Don’t push too hard (I have broken a few glass piece here and there during the cleaning process…oops).  If you pick up a pack of brushes from the dollar store, you won’t be wasting money on a cleaning tool.</p> <p>Do you have any other tips for cleaning vintage finds?</p>http://threepondsvintage.tumblr.com/post/21747694212http://threepondsvintage.tumblr.com/post/21747694212Tue, 24 Apr 2012 20:04:03 -0400vintagetipscleaning<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2yomcgoSz1rsqdfso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I love this trio of vintage Fire King tea cups and saucers.

Aside from the Christmasy color pattern, it was perfectly mid-century mod chic.</p> <p>A solid color sheath dress with no gingham or plaid? Season 1 Peggy Olson would never wear a dress like that. She (and Megan) is definitely bringing the mod to the offices of SCDP.</p>http://threepondsvintage.tumblr.com/post/20343427253http://threepondsvintage.tumblr.com/post/20343427253Mon, 02 Apr 2012 06:31:03 -0400Mad Men Monday<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1r5e8lmme1rsqdfso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Mason jars are one of my favorite items to find at flea markets and vintage shops.
