Chandelier Cleaning Tips
That Will Simplify the Task

Prepare the Area


Start with Light-Touch Dusting

Before you start cleaning the chandelier, you need to prepare the area first. You do not want
anything around your ladder that would make you deal with an accident. Certain furniture pieces
can increase your risk of injury, so it is better to free up some space before you climb up the
stepladder. If your chandelier has accumulated serious dust, it is better to cover up the furniture in
your room. Another good idea is to hang a big umbrella upside down with your chandelier. This
way, it will collect all the dust and you will not have to clean the rest of your furniture after cleaning
your chandelier.
Before you move on to wet cleaning, it is better to start with light-touch dusting because it will help
get rid of loose debris. Doing it first will also prepare the surface for wet cleaning. You can use a
feather duster for this task. Be sure to use it gently to clean the crystals, bulbs, and the fixture itself.
Using a blow dryer may also be a good option. You can also remove caked-on dirt with the help of
a microfiber-cleaning mitt – do not use paper towels or static dust pads here or you would end up
scratching the crystals.
Proceed with Liquid Cleaning

In case your chandelier demands a thorough cleaning, you may have to do some wet cleaning as
well. For this, you will have to buy a liquid glass cleaner from the market. Simply spray the cleaner on
a soft cloth and rub down the entire fixture. You do not have to remove the crystals when using this
method. You have to remove the crystals to deal with extreme dirt, but it is better to avoid doing it
yourself and ask a professional to handle it on your behalf.
