How to clean a chandelier
Chandeliers are a great way to add a real statement to your bedroom, but it's important that they are treated with care (especially if you're working with materials such as glass). If you opt for a crystal chandelier, we recommend cleaning it once every six months to ensure it stays sparkling new.
The way you clean your chandelier will depend on the material, but as a general rule of thumb, wipe it down with a microfibre cloth sprayed with cleaning solution. If you're working with glass, don't forget to wear gloves to avoid fingerprints!
