Tips in Cleaning Chandeliers the Green Way

In celebration of the recent Earth Day, allow me to share with you, my dear readers an alternative method in cleaning your chandelier lighting. While it is true that chandeliers can be a sight to behold, when it collects dusts it is as easy for it to be an eye sore and a complete waste to have it hanging there not serving its aesthetic purpose.  

What you will need is a ladder high enough for you to reach the chandelier, two or three microfiber cloths (available in home stores), a bottle spray with a mixture of tea tree oil and water.  

It might be a challenge especially for those intricately designed pieces. The one thing to remember is to start from the top and work your way down then around. This makes the most sense, instead of having to get off and on the ladder while getting around several times. When you can easily wipe each element clean from up down then move either clockwise or otherwise. The process is easy, just spray the microfiber cloth with the mixture of tea tree oil and water then wipe each element of the chandelier piece. The second cloth will be used to polish the cleaned ones. Easy, right? Happy chandelier cleaning! 

Easier Way to Clean Chandeliers

If at all, cleaning chandeliers can be anything but easy. As intimidating as it is this is something one has got to do one time or another. Otherwise the purpose of putting up one defeats its aesthetic purpose. You don't just leave this centerpiece of a room to collect dust for years without maintaing it.

Here's an easier way to clean your chandelier. Place a set of towels across the floor right under the chandelier. Spread sets of newspaper over th towels. Cover each bulb with a small plastic bag to protect them from the moisture. Spray generous amount of window cleaner on each pendant such that dirt would easily run off onto the newspaper.

You can either drip dry the pendants or polish them with a soft cloth to let them shine. Happy cleaning! :-)
