General cleaning: Wash all chandeliers in the house

Caring for lamps correctly is a separate science

Several advices for caring for lamps

Spring cleaning is not easy, but a joyful test: every hostess feels an explosion of enthusiasm and creative ascent when imagining how it can cope with cleaning crystal or bronze chandeliers, fabric or glass plafoons, not to mention decorative stucco on the ceiling. A layer of dust and dim light bulbs say one thing: nowhere to retreat - you need to start.

So, all of course know (someone from personal experience, some of the observations), that compliance with safety rules - this is not formalism and therefore, starting to work shut off the chandelier from the network, check the stability of the stool or ladder, armed with a pair of rubber gloves аnd put a mask.

Cleaning a fabric lampshade requires a special careful approach

How can I wash the chandelier with a lamp to the fabric? For cleaning of the ceiling, a special antistatic brush for dust smoking is perfect.With it, it is easy to process the entire surface of the lamp. This is a universal tool. If a lampshade of silk or guipure is then only a soft brush from horse-haired. But if you are confident in the strength of the fabric, then even a vacuum cleaner with a furniture nozzle or a brush for clothes will fit.

The metal parts of the chandelier are wiped with a microfiber cloth

Especially if the lampshade is corrugated. We do not forget to wipe the metal parts of the chandelier and the light bulb with a microfiber cloth. f you talk about lampshades chandelier in the kitchen, they probably need to be washed: they attract dust and fat microparticles. Therefore, they often do not attach to the frame on the glue, but on the rubber band: it's more convenient to remove and put back after washing, to dry the chandelier, the chandelier has saved the original shape. However, the chandelier in this case can be used only after complete drying of all parts.

The surface of the bronze chandelier is covered with patina

Bronze chandelier. If you are a lucky owner of a bronze chandelier, then probably noticed over time that the color of the product has changed and it was covered with stains - patina (oxide film). To clean the bronze chandelier is not necessary to buy expensive chemicals.Home methods for eliminating plaque on bronze products are very effective and less costly. They can be found at each kitchen.

Depending on the type of alloy, the appropriate method of cleaning the chandelier is selected

This is a soda with lemon juice, ammonia alcohol, acetone and a solution of oxalic acid (do not forget about gloves). The same funds will be useful for cleaning the chandelier of brass, as copper is in both materials. After cleaning the parts of the chandelier, it is worth rinse and dry thoroughly. In the room there should be no high humidity, otherwise the oxidation process and the appearance of the plaque accelerates and the bronze chandelier loses its appeal.

After cleaning, the crystal chandelier looks and shines much better

Wash the crystal chandelier and sconce. Note - it is not easy. It is worth deciding on the approach: their at least 2. The first: remove the chandelier, disassemble and wash each suspension. Wash is necessary in warm, but not hot water with a detergent. To impart brilliance, crystal parts are rinsed in a vinegar solution. After the details are thoroughly washed, dried and polished (soft fabric without a pile), you can proceed to assembling chandeliers. It is worth working in cotton gloves so as not to leave prints. The second way: moving with a rag in hands around the chandelier wipe each part with a wet cloth for glass and a cloth from the microfiber. All the time you have to rearrange a stepladder or chair, to observe maximum caution, so as not to hurt and do not drop the crystal pendants.

Dirt and dust are very visible on pendant lamps made of colored glass, but they are easy to clean

If your chandelier is made of glass, it is easy to cope with pollution. It is not necessary to disassemble completely. It is enough to remove the plaffones that are held by retainers or pucks of cartridges. It is best to wash them in warm soapy water, give dry. Hang back to the same way, to clean the carcass-base of chandeliers from dust. Do not forget to wipe the light bulbs. Dusty light bulbs lose up to 50% brightness, and we have to include more light sources and spend more energy.

In the absence of proper care, even the most beautiful chandelier loses its attractiveness.Soapy water, vinegar, soft rag, brush, vacuum cleaner - here, perhaps, and all the necessary equipment to keep the lamp clean and tidy. And then chandelier for many years will delight you with its beauty.
