If you have a Crystal Chandelier it is best to care for it in the best way possible. For those who love crystal often enjoy handling it. So, if you want the hands on experience on your own Crystal Chandelier I think will be able to throw you some info that'll be useful for you and your Crystal Chandelier. This will be the chance for yourself to get a closer look to your own chandelier and care for it first hand. How relaxing it is to look at sparkling stars reflecting on your walls, ceiling, and furniture. But the down point of it is that with time in can be damaged with the dust and the sparkling glow of it will diminish

We all know that a Crystal needs cleaning when it appears dusty or dull. Just look at your chandelier frequently so you'll know if the chandelier needs cleaning. Every time you dust your house, take the dust from your chandelier using anti-static dust brush. While dusting keep in mind that crystal pendants shouldn't beat each other it may create invisible cracks and eventually spoil the clear structure of the crystal. So, if you have a modern crystal chandelier you can clean it without detaching the pendants from the frame. It is important that while handling pendants, use white cotton gloves. Prepare a solution of one part isopropyl alcohol and three parts distilled water. Put it in a spray bottle. Put on your cotton gloves. Spray one glove with the solution. The other glove should be kept dry. Keep in mind that do not use packaged cleaning fluids, even if they claim to be for crystal. They may contain ammonia or other chemicals that will eventually degrade the frame finish.

Specialized lighting stores can offer you to buy cleaning solutions produced by chandelier manufactures specifically for lighting fixtures cleaning. You can use them following the instructions on the package. If you have a classic crystal chandelier, it's better to detach the crystal from your chandelier for cleaning. Hand-wash the crystal in lukewarm water, using mild dish soap rinses in clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. Always remember to wear white gloves when re-hanging the crystal on the chandelier. Do not put crystal pendants back to the chandelier while they are still wet. It may cause the corrosion of the metal parts of the frame, which you don't want to happen.

Never twirl or rotate your chandelier. Keep in mind that it may damage the chandelier. When cleaning, walk or move your ladder around your lighting fixture. Clean in sections. Rotating the chandelier could cause it or its parts to fall, which may very well damage it. Do not handle crystal with bare hands. I said it before and will say it again, always wear white cotton gloves. Crystal picks up fingerprints easily and that isn't pretty. Gentle care and following the instructions with precision will help you to enjoy the beauty of your crystal chandeliers, wall sconces, or floor lamps for many and many years. This will be a big help for you in terms of caring for your Crystal Chandeliers.
