Tips on Cleaning your Chandelier Without Taking it Down:

A chandelier is a beautiful feature in any home and a great source of light. But have you ever got up and looked closely at the state of your chandelier? You may get a quite a shock at the amount of dust that has collected over time. Don’t worry, we have you covered for your next cleaning expedition:

WHAT YOU NEED:

Ladder
Towels
Soft cloth
Sparkle – we stock this chandelier cleaner in our store
Sandwich bags or freezer bags
Rubber bands

GET STARTED:

Make sure your lights are switched off and that your light bulbs are not hot
Put your towels on the floor underneath your chandelier to catch any water or dirt that may fall onto the floor while you are cleaning-
If you need your ladder, get it out and position in a place that is easy for you to work from
Cover all your light sockets with plastic bags and tie them fast with rubber bands – this will prevent any window cleaner getting into your sockets and prevent any electrical damage
Get your Windolene out and spray your chandelier down – don’t be afraid to have your chandelier dripping wet as it will only make getting the dirt off of your chandelier easier
Once you have wiped your chandelier down with your soft cloth, leave any excess water to drip off
