Things You Can Do To Ensure Grandfather Clock Maintenance

By Sandra Williams


Many people value not only the long cased clocks but also great ones. They do not mind the amount they are going to spend to get a great piece. Such people need to be aware of the different maintenance tips they can practice daily in order to be assured of maximum service. Grandfather clock maintenance involves the following.

It should be dusted every week if you are much interested in the service it will give you. You need to make use of very light dusting materials so that they do not put too much pressure on the delicate parts of the wall timepiece. Things like a soft duster or an ostrich feather can be used. This should be used to remove any dirt on both the inner and the outer parts of a device.

The wood used in the making needs to be polished in about every two weeks to three months. It should as well be waxed in order to ensure that it remains in a great condition. The polish must be applied on a soft cloth before it is taken to the gadget. You need to be very keen to ensure that only the wooden part is polished. The glass part and the face should be avoided.

Use a non-ammonia cleaner and soft padded cloth to make sure that the glass part is cleansed. Spray the liquid on the soft cloth then use it to do the wiping. Ensure that you open both the big and the small doors on the gadget in order to ensure that you do a thorough clean up on them. This process should be done on a weekly basis.

Once you have stayed with the timepiece for a duration of eight years, you can now simply look for a technician who can do the inside cleaning. They should be knowledgeable about how to remove everything from position and still get it back. If you do not know the right expert to hire for their services you can get some help from grandfather clock merchandisers.

After two years you may realize that the watch slows down in terms of movement. At such a point you can consider it wise to apply some oil on it in order to fasten its movement. The right oil must be bought from stores that are known to sell the long cased timers. Ensure that all the tools are inside the package for the oiling process.

Use oil that is most recommended for such types of timers. Do not be tired to make your moves from one seller unto the next. Unless you are so sure that whatever you are looking for cannot be found on the market, then you can seek for a better option from your seller. Buying something that you not sure of can cost you a lot.

Whenever you are doing the oiling process, you need to put down all the clock dial in order to reach out to the front plate. You need to apply the oil gently on each intersection of the plate and the gears. This will make sure that the normal operations are brought back.
