How do you care 4 your chandelier ?

Just got a new chandelier it is like a hematite grey color in the crystals , with a smoke colored base. Love it, but wonder what is the best way to keep it dust free and clean. Always had a clear colored one in the past so even though I did clean t off with a duster it didn't show dust as this darker one will. Thanks

I have all clear but I use a microfiber duster on them. A few times a year I get on the step ladder and clean the panels/crystals with Invisible Glass and a microfiber lint free cloth. I know my Dyson has a soft duster attachment but I have never tried that on anything glass. It works fine on my stained glass lamps.

DeePa. , what is invisible glass ? Is it like windex ? I feel the microfiber duster would be more of what I am looking for. Is it a small duster, I have one from qvc for our ceiling fans ? Thanks

Ours is clear and a couple times a year we use a chandelier spray for Swarovsky crystals. We get it at a lighting store. We then hold an umbrella under it for the drips and it turns out just fine. I sure love it.

The only way to truly get it clean is to take it apart every 6 months, and wash the crystals separately. I wash them with soapy water in the sink, wipe them off with a microfiber towel, and hang them on a wire hanger to air dry. In between cleanings I use a cotton glove or a static brush to keep the dust at bay.

I don't have one, but if I did, I'd swing on it daily and such activity would not allow one bit of dust to settle.

KittyGalore:

Invisible Glass is a window cleaner that is streak free and so superior to Windex. I ordered in from QVC but I've seen it in Kmart. I have huge windows and quite a bit of glass surfaces in my home and swear by this stuff. I also have dogs and it does a fine job with their ""artwork"" that I find on the patio door.

Same thing here, I was very skeptical about this I was pleasantly surprised as to how well this works.
