It is vital that you clean your ceiling fan and wall sconce carefully. Most people do not take the time to properly clean these fixtures. If not cleaned the right way then you may slowly damage your expensive lighting fixtures. It is important to use the right type of cleaning products and tools. Take your time and do not rush your way through this task. It is important to have a sturdy ladder or base to stand on. This will help avoid harm from falling to the floor. Try to have someone nearby to help you stay safe and stable. Following the cleaning instructions given to you at the time of purchase is the best way to preserve these fixtures.
Metal parts of your lighting fixtures should be cleaned with a soft cloth. Moisten it with lukewarm water and a mild soap solution. Carefully go over all metal parts very slowly. This will help avoid any unwanted accidents with the glass of your wall sconce. Take your time to look over your work and then dry all metal parts. Use a dry soft cloth to dry and buff your wall sconce. It is important to never use a metal cleaning solution on a wall sconce or ceiling fan. These polishes contain abrasives that may harm the finish of these delicate lighting fixtures.
If your ceiling fan or wall sconce has any wood components then wood polish is fine. Avoid getting any of the wood polish on the metal part of the fixture. Wipe away any residue that is left behind from the polish. This will help avoid any damage to the glass and metal surfaces. Glass surfaces can be cleaned carefully in a sink. Lay a thick towel at the bottom of the sink and fill it with warm water. Next, add a bit of mild cleaning solution and wipe carefully. Quickly dry and reattach all glass fixtures.
Your ceiling fan and wall sconce will look just like new after using these cleaning methods. Cleaning should be done weekly to monthly depending on the amount of dust that normally accumulates in its environment.
