When you have taken the time, and spent the money to buy a nice chandelier light for you home, you want to keep it looking great. Although you chandelier will be on the ceiling and out of harms way, it will lot be long before the dust starts to settle on it and you need to make sure that you stay on top of the dirt to keep it shining brightly.
There are several things that you should do as a chandelier owner to keep your chandelier looking bring. If you follow these tips you can be sure that you light will be well maintained and it will give you many years of great illumination.
The first thing that you need to do is to make sure that you stay on top of the weekly build up of dust. The best way to do this is to buy a synthetic feather duster with a long handle. These are gentle enough to remove the top layer of dust, and the long handle helps with reaching something that is on the ceiling. If you clean your chandelier in this way each week you will prevent a major build up of dust.
The next thing that you want to do is to make sure that you give your chandelier shade a proper clean about once every three months. To do this, I would recommend if you can that you set aside around half a day to do this. You want to basically use a damp cloth and clean every last bit of the chandelier. This will leave it sparkling a clean.
A third tip is to use a glass cleans to bring some shine back to your chandelier. Rather than spraying it directly on to your light, I would recommend that when you have done the through clean you give it a final rub over with a solution of one part glass cleaner to one part water. This is will give you chandelier a lovely shine.
