10 Home Cleaning Tips from Professional Cleaners

Speed-Clean Chandeliers

Chandeliers can be cleaned fairly quickly. Here’s how:

1. Spread a plastic tarp on the floor under the chandelier to catch the drips.
2. Turn off the light and spray this solution on the chandelier until liquid beads start to run. (You’ll use a lot of spray, but it beats wiping.)
3. The spray will rinse off the dust. The solution that’s left evaporates quickly and doesn’t leave water spots.

This spray works well on hanging crystals, but don’t expect it to remove dust from crevices. If you’re tired of cleaning your chandelier and prefer replacing it, here’s how you can do it yourself.
