Most chemicals can etch or wear down alabaster because it's a soft mineral. Use plain water to restore the smooth, lustrous appearance of your alabaster lamps.

  1. Turn off and unplug the lamp.

  2. Dampen a soft cloth with water and wring it out.

  3. Wipe the alabaster lamp gently with the cloth to remove any residue or dirt. Rinse the cloth as needed.

  4. Dry the alabaster with a clean, dry cloth.
