Cleaning Chandeliers ...by Using Cloth Rags
Cleaning Chandeliers
1. Take out all bulbs and put them aside.
2. Lay a folded cotton rags over the bottom of a sink or dishpan. Half fill this with medium hot water. Add soap or detergent and swish up suds.
3. Fill a large pan with clean hot water for rinsing. Add a little ammonia to this rinse water for extra sparkle. Also pad this pan with cloth wipers to keep fine glass from breaking.
4. To wash, take the crystal drops and saucers off of the chandelier, a few at the time. Wipe the frame or "arm" of the chandelier with a cloth rag wrung out of suds.
5. Wash the parts in the sudsy water with wiping rags. Rinse them with hot water and wipe them dry with cloth wipers. Then put them back right away to make sure that they go in the right places. If any pins or wires look weak or rusty, put in new ones.
6. Keep on taking down, washing, and rehanging more parts until the whole piece is clean.
7. Wipe off the bulbs with cloth rags. Rinse them, wipe them dry with cotton wipers and put them into their sockets again.
