Sometimes, fresh and pristine is perfect, sometimes it's not the best way to find an artifact. (Just ask me or my brother some time about how depressing a "mint in box!" toy seems - decades old, and never once played with ...)
A great thought I had to quote/highlight:
Our ancestors may not have had our attitudes to personal hygiene, but they washed their clothes, they washed their pots and pans, and even the English word ‘clean’ derives from Anglo Saxon. People in previous centuries arguably took better care of their possessions than we do, because they were much less easy to replace --A. L. BerridgeFor her thoughts on writing - hit up the link, kids.
