Although chandelier cleaning could be intimidating, the glistening effects of a polished chandelier are all well worth it. Here are a few chandelier cleaning techniques to achieve that desired fresh-as-new gloss:
- Chandelier cleaning must be done at least once-a-year (or every-two-years) as a thicker dust-collection in the chandelier is harder to clean and are at times damaging.
- For safety-precautions, turn-off the chandelier lights before cleaning. Also, make sure that you give ample time for the light-bulbs to cool-down before you start chandelier cleaning.
- Place a comforter or thick rug under the chandelier to cushion-catch any falling crystals, fragile prisms or minute parts. This may also prevent the sharper chandelier-parts from scratching your floor or furniture.
- Always make a diagram of the chandelier, clearly illustrating the assembly of all the removable chandelier-parts, before chandelier cleaning.
- Clean the chandelier by sections. This will be easier especially if you think it too complicated figuring-out where everything goes if you clean and re-assemble the entire chandelier.
- Carefully remove and replace trimmings and chandelier pendants, placing them in a plastic-container to avoid damaging.
