Keeping your Chandelier Sparkling


The beautiful crystal chandeliers you have in your home add ambiance and beauty, but you have to do a little cleaning from time to time if you want them to continue to sparkle as they should.
Since chandeliers are typically hung from the ceiling, often the highest ceilings in your home, cleaning may be a bit of a project. If you must use a ladder to access your crystal chandeliers, be sure you use caution and do it safely.
On an occasional basis, the cleaning is very involved; remove every crystal, wipe, and place them back in their original spot. This is a big job. Be sure you use a cloth that is appropriate for cleaning glass.
You’ll be happy to know that , if you perform these occasional cleanings, you can usually get away with a very simple cleaning. Mix a solution of one part isopropyl alcohol to three parts distilled alcohol and spray your crystal chandeliers. The fast evaporating alcohol will leave your chandeliers sparkling, and the distilled water will not leave streaks.
By keeping your crystal chandeliers clean, you will ensure that your fixtures always have that captivating sparkle that your home deserves. A little effort, a lot of shine!
