How do I clean and care for an antique Whiting & Davis enameled mesh purse?

Caution should be taken when cleaning your handbag mesh so that you do not wear or chip the enamel off or separate the tile grid. Wiping gently with a damp cloth fairly clean cloth should remove most dust and dirt. Extra-fine "steel wool can be used to polish the frames with no enamel accents, then wipe with a damp cloth. Wash your mesh bag in the water is generally not recommended However, personally, I did at my discretion. If you clean your bag nets in the water or get too wet, towel dry from outside and then blow the inside of the dryer with hot air until it is "completely dry". You want to make sure that all moisture has disappeared and not trapped in the tile grid. The purses that do not mesh painted decorations, I used the silver or copper cleaner to bring out the brilliance of the award. Again, the problem of separating the tiles can be made so as you work in small areas and use very little pressure, keeping the tiles distributed so that they does not wiggle around a lot, it takes a little practice, time and patience. Do not try and work advanced, you'll only cause problems. Store your mesh bag away from direct sunlight, heat or humidity. Many collectors have arranged displays beautiful decorative wall where a feather dusting weekly would be appropriate. Others keep them behind glass, like a dresser. The practice of coaching and handbags vintage is a great idea However, the holes must be provided in the scoping process for ventilation. Handbags that do not rise to air will not age as gracefully, the dangers of the accumulation of moisture and improves the mold. For storage in a drawer, wrapped in a clean white tissue paper and slip it into an "open" bag, if desired, making sure your handbag can breathe. If you live in an area of high humidity, keep it out of plastic bags because this could cause transpiration not receive the award.
