Beautiful method, I’ll try this! Question; would you wash the cloths that you use to wax things, or would you just toss them? I like to try to reuse my rags... thanks!

[@irestorestuff]

Margaret Rosin if you wash them it would have to be using some kind of mineral spirits to break down the wax, then wash out as normal. I don’t see the point as this can be quite time consuming. However, for waxing I use old worn out socks or T-shirt’s that are lint free so I feel like I’m already reusing/recycling them and I don’t feel bad about tossing them after waxing.

I have about a hundred or so antique and collectible baskets in my house, I was wondering how I can go about selling them all at once

[@irestorestuff]

List them as a bundle on your local online marketplace. Be prepared not to make as much as you would selling them individually though.
