  • How should I clean my chandelier for day-to-day maintenance?
    Simple dusting is sufficient for day-to-day upkeep of your chandelier. Do not use any chemicals or sprays, because they may damage the glass of your chandelier.
  • Can I clean my glass chandelier in the dishwasher?
    No, it is not recommended to clean the glass of your chandelier in the dishwasher.
  • What's the best method for deep cleaning my chandelier's glass?
    For a thorough clean, use a dry clean microfiber cloth for the outside of the glass. Using a dry cloth ensures that no chemicals or moisture are introduced, which could potentially damage the glass. For the inside of the glass, use a cotton tip type of wire rod. The cotton tip bristles are used to wipe off any smears or dirt, similar to using a finger.
  • What should I do if the glass has stubborn stains or marks?
    If the glass has stubborn stains or marks, you may need to use a gentle cleaner specifically designed for glass surfaces. However, always test it in a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't cause damage.
  • Can I use a regular cloth or paper towel to clean the chandelier glass?

  • What steps should I take to wire my lighting properly?
    Proper wiring is essential for safe and efficient lighting installation. Ensure power is switched off at the main service disconnect before beginning. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, or consider hiring a licensed electrician for assistance with wiring to ensure it's done correctly and safely. We assume no liability for any personal or property damages from installation by a non-licensed professional.
  • Why does my shade look crooked?
    The holes at the top of the glass are based on the weight distribution of the piece itself and not based on the direct geometric center of the glass. Since these are hand blown pieces, the weight isn't always completely even. The holes are cut that way so the pendants can be hung as straight as possible. The hole is cut with a 1.75 inch gap, (slightly larger than the E26 base socket set) so that you have some wiggle room to adjust the shade to get it to hang straight. We encourage you to attempt to adjust the shade by simply moving the position of the opening on the threaded end of the fixture where you attach the globe.
