Chandeliers create a unique sparkle in any room. However, as time goes by accumulated dust and grime can ruin the lighting, illumination and overall beauty of the chandelier. It might have cost thousands of dollars but without proper maintenance it could just be an eyesore. Here are some tips on how to clean crystal chandeliers; mix a solution of one part isopropyl alcohol or ammonia in three parts distilled water. You can also buy a special chandelier cleaner from a lighting retailer. Put some solution in a spray and spray every part of the fixture with the cleanser, avoiding wires and other electrical components. Allow the crystals to drip-dry but it’s too dirty, might as well hand-wash each crystal with the cleaning solution. Just make sure you tape the switch so that no one accidentally turns it on!
