Methods for cleaning a drop chandelier in glass or crystal.
All chandeliers require some periodic care to ensure they are always shiny and bright. Below you will find suggestions to help you with these operations and clean them easily. There are several efficient methods and products for cleaning a drop chandelier:
- First, turn off the power.
- Get some rags or newspapers and place them under the chandelier.
- If you use cleaning products for chandeliers, spray the product generously directly onto the crystals, so that it drips onto the newspapers placed on the ground and removes the dirt.
- Be careful not to spray the product inside the lamp holders; otherwise, when you turn on the light, you could cause a short circuit.
- When the cleaner has finished dripping, the chandelier will be clean and will shine again.
- If you want to achieve a better effect, when the chandelier is still wet, gently rub the drops with a soft cloth.
- For cleaning, you can also use natural products, creating mixtures of warm water and lemon, or water and vinegar, or water and baking soda, which can be sprayed with a sprayer onto the crystals and then wiped with a cloth to remove dirt and dry them.
Methods to clean a Murano glass chandelier
There are several efficient methods and products for cleaning a Murano glass chandelier:
- To begin, turn off the power and wait for the bulbs and glass to cool down; otherwise, when you spray the solution on the glass, you risk breaking it due to thermal shock.
- Get a ladder and unscrew all the light bulbs, removing them while holding the candle with one hand, otherwise it may rotate on itself and tangle the electrical wires.
- Start removing the leaves and flowers that are inserted into the central disk of the chandelier and place them on a soft surface.
- Fill a basin with warm water and add a glass cleaning product.
- If you prefer a more ecological but equally functional system, put warm water and white vinegar in a basin (2 cups of vinegar for two liters of water).
- Dip the chandelier components one by one into the water and vinegar solution, being careful to immerse only the glass parts, and not the plaster socket at the base of the flowers and leaves, because if this is immersed, the plastering will be damaged, thus affecting the proper fitting between the sockets and the central disk.
- Dampen a cloth with warm water and vinegar, and gently wipe it over the entire glass structure of the chandelier and all the components you couldn't remove, drying them with a microfiber cloth. At this point, reposition all the flowers, leaves, and components you previously disassembled, and you will see that your chandelier will shine again like the first day.
