To ensure that your chandelier always shines beautifully, good care is essential. We recommend regular dry cleaning about once a month and thorough wet cleaning once a year.
Before cleaning your chandelier, you should always switch off the light and turn off the fuse. A lint-free duster or feather duster, preferably made from natural materials such as lambswool, is sufficient for dry cleaning. A long telescopic handle ensures that you can reach everywhere easily and may even save you having to use a ladder.
Be cautious when your chandelier is made from acrylic glass: you should exclusively wet-clean and never dry-clean it, in order to avoid static charging.
A thorough wet cleaning once a year can be part of the traditional “spring cleaning”. An opportune moment, because it is the end of the heating period during which a lot of dust rises with the warm air. Special cleaning sprays for chandeliers are commercially available, which you can choose according to the material of your luster.
Untreated metal surfaces should be cleaned with a special cleaner for metal, brass chandeliers should be treated with a brass care product. For lacquered or sealed metal surfaces, cleaning with water and a little washing-up liquid is sufficient. Glass crystals can be cleaned with glass cleaner.
Also, before starting the thorough cleanup, do not forget to unscrew the fuse. Then, proceed as follows:
- Remove any dust from your chandelier as described above.
- DCover the floor under the luster in order to protect it from dripping off liquids. For example, you can use a foil, newsprint paper or old cloths.
- Spray the luminaire completely with the spray.
- Wipe dry any accumulations of liquid in hollows with a cloth.
- Wait until the lamp has dried completely before you turn the power back on.
Now you can enjoy the renewed brilliance of your chandelier!
