Product Care Guide

I. Routine Cleaning & Care

1. Material-Specific Cleaning

  • Crystal/Glass Fixtures
    ▸ Use electrostatic dusting brushes or microfiber cloths
    ▸ Stubborn stains: Spray with 1:5 white vinegar solution, then wipe gently
    ▸ Avoid alcohol/ammonia-based cleaners (corrodes finishes)

  • Metal Components (Copper/Brass/Gilded)
    ▸ Polish monthly with specialty metal cloths (e.g., Cape Cod Polishing Cloths)
    ▸ Apply protective wax (e.g., Renaissance Wax) to bare copper/brass
    ▸ Never use abrasive cleaners on plated surfaces

  • Fabric/Paper Shades
    ▸ Vacuum with soft brush attachment on low suction
    ▸ Spot clean with makeup brushes + baking soda

 

2. Electrical Safety

  • Monthly oxidation checks on connectors (especially in humidity >60%)
  • Test for current leakage with non-contact voltage detectors
  • Professional inspection of LED drivers every 3-5 years

 

II. Seasonal Deep Maintenance

1. Annual Disassembly (Spring/Fall Recommended)

For crystal chandeliers:

  • Soak individual pieces in distilled water + pH-neutral detergent (15 mins)
  • Clean intricate carvings with ultrasonic cleaner (<40°C/104°F)
  • Air-dry completely before reassembly with lint-free cloths

 

2. Metal Framework Care

  • Apply anti-tarnish solution (e.g., Tarn-X) to copper elements

  • Treat chrome surfaces with automotive-grade sealant

 

III. Special Environment Solutions

1. Coastal/Humid Climates

  • Monthly application of anti-corrosion spray (e.g., WD-40 Specialist)

  • Install moisture absorber inside fixture (large chandeliers)

 

2. Arid/Dusty Regions

  • Install electrostatic dust filters

  • Apply UV-protective film to quartz lamps
