Chandeliers accumulate a high amount of dust over the course of a year. You can easily make a cleaning solution for your chandelier out of some basic household ingredients.
Things You Will Need
- Warm water
- Rubbing alcohol
- Automatic dishwasher spot remover
- Vinegar
- 2 spray bottles
- Sandwich bags
- Rubber bands
- Rags
-
Combine 2 cups of warm water, 1/2 cup of rubbing alcohol and 2 tbsp. of automatic dishwasher spot remover in a spray bottle. This solution can be used to clean the chandelier’s metal and glass cover pieces.
-
Combine 1 cup of warm water and 1 cup of vinegar in another spray bottle. Use this solution on the lightbulbs.

Clean the chandelier by covering the lightbulbs in sandwich bags and clamping them shut with a rubber band. Spray down the chandelier, scrubbing away any dust with a rag. Remove the baggies once the chandelier is wiped clean, and gently rub the vinegar solution onto the bulbs.
