Crystal Chandelier Cleaning
Turn off the power.
Gently and steadily remove your lamp from the fixtures. If you are at all worried about this step, be sure to have some extra help.
Chandeliers can be very heavy, depending on their size. If you prefer to leave your chandelier attached, that is perfectly fine — just step up and remove the crystals as you need to clean them.
Take out all of the bulbs.
Protect your chandelier crystals by laying down a folded towel across the bottom of the sink, wash pan, or whichever basin you decide to use.
Fill up the basin with hot (but bearable) water and add soap or detergent of your choice.
Remove the crystals a few at a time and wash them in your soapy water, and then rinse them with hot water (you may even wish to have a hot water rinsing pan with a little ammonia in it).
Wipe them dry, and then immediately place them back onto your chandelier.
Do not take off all of the crystals at once! You may have trouble remembering their proper places on the chandelier. Just choose a place to start, and work methodically around that point.
Wipe off the arms of your chandelier with a non-sudsy cloth.
Wipe down the bulbs and then put them back into their sockets.
