A chandelier is not like those normal lighting fixtures that we can just unscrew, bring it down and wipe them clean. You have to clean it right where it is hanging down. Want to have nice house, got to make extra effort to maintain it. Anyway, those who can afford to have chandeliers in their home, I am sure you will have at least 2 house keepers/maids/servants.
When asking them to clean your chandelier, make sure you tell them to do the following:
1. Make a diagram to guide them to where any removable parts go after cleaning is completed. Better still if you can take photo of it.
2. Switch off the light first! Never clean the chandelier with the lights on.
3. Place a thick comforter or drop cloth on the ground directly below to catch any possible falling pieces.
4. While cleaning the fixture make sure to keep it stationary. Do not turn or twist it.
5. Use a light cleaning mixture (like mild dish soap and water) or special chandelier cleaning solution.
6. Use warm water; the warmer the water the less spots that will be left.
7. Let the chandelier dry overnight to insure it is fully dried before turning its power back on.
Stumble it!
