Keeping your pendant lights clean is a must to sustain their functionality and style, and doing so shouldn’t have to be tedious! Read through this easy-to-follow guide on how to maintain your pendant lights in pristine condition.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Pendant Lights
Step 1: Safety First
Your safety is our priority. So, before you begin cleaning your pendant lights, turn off the power to the fixture at the circuit breaker to avoid any accidents. After, carefully remove the bulbs and any detachable components such as glass shades or metal cages.Â
 Â
 Â
Step 2: Clean Each Component
Each part may require a specific cleaning technique. For instance, glass and plastic shades may be cleaned by washing them with soapy water and drying them off afterward. Whereas for fixtures with fabric shades, using lint rollers or vacuuming works best.Â

You also have to consider the exterior of each piece. Avoid scratching the surface of pendants with metallic finish or ones made in alloy by using microfiber cloths when wiping them down. You can also use a brush to dust off hard-to-reach areas.Â

Step 3: Reassemble the Pendant Light
Once all parts are thoroughly dry, reassemble the pendant light. Screw the bulb back in and along with the other components. Finally, restore the power and test the light to see if it is working properly.Â
