What kind of solution do most window cleaner use for chandeliers. I used to use ABC Chandelier cleaner but it was discontinued Please help
It depends on the chandelier. For chandeliers with glass panel like a bird cage I use Brillianize #1 Rated Plastic Cleaner and Plastic Polish . It works awesome on chandeliers and leaded glass. It will clean and polish at the same time, so it will leave a smooth clear coat on the glass that lasts for a long time. When you go to re clean it a year later all you have to do is use a towel that is wet with water only and wipe it and dry it and it will buff out brilliant. If you have any questions about it or tips on how to use it let me know.
For Crystal I usually use a wet huck towel (just water) and a dry one and clean each individual crystal. Wipe the metal or iron first then the crystal and bulbs. I recently tried a spray and let drip dry chandelier cleaner and it worked well. However someone posted a website of some guys who have designed a system using vibrating technology to clean the crystals and I contacted them and they told me the spray and let drip dry chemicals are harmful to the chandelier and it will void the warranty. I have not followed up to confirm that but they seem to know there stuff. So I may be back to cleaning each crystal by hand.
You can use some homemade solutions.
[I]Crystal chandelier recommends a solution of one part isopropyl alcohol to three parts distilled water.
Mix 2 teaspoons rubbing alcohol and 1 pint warm water in a spray bottle. Drench the chandelier with this mixture. [/I]
