ABSTRACT

This article answers several questions related to housekeeping. When asked if there is a way to clean chandelier crystals without removing them, the author said yes. Cover the floor and nearby furniture with a plastic tablecloth to catch drips. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the fixture.
