There are several ways to brighten up vacation homes in Happy Home Paradise. One of them is by polishing furniture to literally make it shine. The polishing effect isn't just locked to vacation homes, though, and the effect can be customized.
How to polish items
You first must unlock polishing by completing four vacation homes. Once done, you will have the ability to equip your polishing rag once inside your home by pressing zl and can use it to make the furniture in your home shine.

There are 14 standard polishing effects that you can choose from after you complete twelve homes. You can choose from any of the designs when in polishing mode by pressing +. If you don't like the designs, then choose the design you like least and press x to replace it with a custom design.
You can download polishing effects from other players or upload your own unique design. In addition, you can apply different polishing effects to the items in your room to give all of your objects an animated look.
