While these modern lighting styles are truly alluring especially in the entryway or foyer. homemakers should keep in mind that they need special attention in terms of cleaning. Over time, the glass and metal components will show signs of dust accumulations that make bubble lighting fixtures look dull and grimy.

Cleaning is of course the only solution in bringing back its original sheen and lustre but requires careful execution when doing so.

How To Clean the Glass Bubbles of Pendant Lights

First off, always use skin-friendly nitrile cleaning gloves, which have a high level of resistance against the chemical components of a glass cleaning solvent. This is especially necessary if the grime of your pendant light chandeliers have hardened, they require heavy cleaning with a solvent-free glass cleaner.

It’s also important not to directly spray the glass cleaning substance on the glass bubbles. The right method is to dampen a dry lint-free towel or microfiber cloth with the cleaning substance when gently wiping the glass bubbles.
Take extra care not to let the glass bubbles knock each other. Also avoid pulling on the wire attachment when trying to meticulously wipe away the accumulation of dust in the connecting cables.

How to Bring Back the Lustre of Metal Frames and Finishes

While cleaning the metal finish or frame of pendant light chandeliers usually does not take long, the care and cleaning solutions used depend on the type of metal that requires cleaning. The most common type of metals used for pendant lights are brass, bronze, nickel-plated brass and stainless steel.

Stainless steel finishes are the easiest to clean as you only need a lint-free rag dampened with a small portion of dishwashing liquid mixed with warm water, to wipe away dirt and grime. Still, you have to follow the direction of the grain (vertical or horizontal) when wiping, to avoid leaving unsightly marks. Wipe the surface of the stainless steel finish using absorbent soft cloth or paper towels to remove water marks.

Brass and bronze finishes can be cleaned with vinegar mixed with salt and water. The mixture depends on the amount needed to clean the brass or bronze finish. Generally a brass cleaning solution combines two tablespoons of vinegar and one tablespoon salt to a pint of water.

The mixture should be heated but only to warm the solution to make it work when applied with a cloth. You also need to wipe the brass or bronze fixture dry so you can buff the surface after cleaning.

Nickel-coated brass finish is a lot easier to clean and maintain because, like stainless steel, it does not tarnish. Cleaning away the grime requires using only a mild dishwashing detergent applied on a clean, damp microfiber cloth. Still, you have to rub the cloth gently when cleaning and drying the finish to avoid making scratch marks.
