How do you clean an old fashioned chandlier?

Question

My mom and I are trying to clean off an old chandelier. It has numerous hanging glass pieces. How would we clean the pieces and the chandelier?

Answer 1

The glass pieces should be removable. Take those off and wash in warm dish water and dry with a cloth diaper. For the brass, buy a brass cleaner (cleaning aisle at Lowes) and also use a cloth diaper. Once the glass pieces are dry and the brass part of the chandelier is clean, hang the glass pieces back up and enjoy! I do this with my grandma all the time!

Answer 2

You will have to take off the crystal droplets one by one- wash in   lemon dish soap & very hot water dry with a clean soft cloth and then spary with Windex.  It is a lot of work but it will look  super bright when it is finished.

Have fun

Answer 3

the glass you should use gin ................it's the way it was done in the big houses of the past ................the brass use a brass cleaner

Answer 4

You can either clean it one piece at a time....or check with your store ( Walmart or Target ) for the spray on cleaner. There is a chandelier cleaner that you can spray on and all the dirt drips off with the wet bubbles....just make sure you put a big shower curtain or large plastic sheet under it to catch all the drops so it doesn't ruin your table or floor.

Answer 5

For the glass use windex

for the chandlier usean alaround surface cleaner.

Make sure to use a smal cloth
