Tips For Crystal Chandelier Cleaning Tips For Crystal Chandelier Cleaning Crystal chandeliers do require cleaning from time to time to remove any dirt or grime that could reduce illumination. The safest way is to carefully wipe each crystal piece with a micro fibre cloth that has been sprayed with a cleaning solution that will not cause damage to the crystals. Always wear white cotton gloves to reduce fingerprints on the crystals. One of the biggest appeals to crystal chandeliers is the sparkle that they provide. They can quickly attract dust, grime and cobwebs. There are two methods you can use to clean your chandelier effectively. You can take it apart or keep it in place. The first option is to clean your crystal chandelier without removing it from the ceiling. This is the safest and easiest method. If you stay up to date with regular cleaning, your chandelier will always sparkle and will seldom before dirty to a point you have to take it down. Of course this is determined on where your chandelier is placed and its height. Lay a duvet or blanket on the floor under the chandelier to catch pieces that may fall, reducing the risk of them breaking. Ensure the power is turned off for safety before you start. It’s recommended to put tape over the light switch, reducing the risk of a family member turning it on while you are carrying out your chandelier cleaning project. Mix one part isopropyl alcohol with four parts of distilled water before you put on your white cotton gloves that will eliminate the risk of leaving fingerprints on the crystals as you go. Spray the cleaner onto your micro fibre cloth, never spray it directly onto the chandelier. Gently wipe each of the crystals with the cloth, followed immediately by a dry micro fibre cloth to reduce water spots. Chandeliers in hard to reach places will require a more thorough clean. Depending on whether you can access them or not, you may want to use a professional chandelier cleaning specialist to carry out the work for you. This is a detailed process and you will need to take photographs, draw pictures and write notes to ensure that once dismantled, you can put everything back together properly. Remember most crystal chandeliers are made up of many prisms, each one needs to be replaced perfectly. Make up your alcohol and distilled water solution. Remove the chandelier pieces with care, ensuring you don't drop any that could smash on the floor. Once removed you are going to have to take the time to hand wash each piece with care.

To reduce the need for thorough chandelier cleaning, it's recommended that you dust your chandelier every six to eight weeks with a feather duster, using a cleaning method annually. Never use ammonia based cleaners that can cause damage to the gold or silver plating that holds the crystals in place. You must also never rotate the chandelier to reach the sections you are working on, this can loose then the supports an cause the entire lighting fixture to smash to the floor.
