Varnish stains can be particularly tricky to clean from barrettes due to small size of the surface area. However, by following these four simple steps, you can get rid of those unsightly stains quickly and easily.
Start by filling a bowl or container with warm, sudsy water. Place your barrettes in the water and let them soak for 30 minutes. This will help to soften any built-up grime or residue that is stuck to the edges of the barrettes.
After the soaking time is done, use a soft toothbrush or a cotton swab to gently scrub away the varnish stains. You may need to repeat this process several times in order to fully remove the stubborn stains.
Once stains have been removed, rinse the barrettes in warm water and then dry them with a soft cloth. This will help to remove any remaining bits of dirt or debris that may still be stuck to barrettes.
Finally, apply a new coat of varnish to your barrettes in order to restore their original shine. Be sure to use a varnish that is specifically designed for use with metal or plastic surfaces, as this will ensure a quality finish.
Following these four simple steps will help to keep your barrettes looking like new and prevent stains from accumulating in the future.
