Use and Care Manual

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Do not use any harsh abrasives, polishes or chemicals. Do not wash any parts in the

dishwasher.

SHADES

Fabric Shades

Use a fine brush or a lint remover on your lampshade to remove the accumulated dirt and dust.

If necessary, you may use a white cloth dampened with a mild solution of soapy water to wash

the shade gently and evenly. Rinse thoroughly with a white cloth dipped in clean water. The

shade should be allowed to dry quickly, preferably in the sun or by using a hair dryer. You may

also use a home dry cleaning product.

Glass Shades

Use a clean, soft cloth to wipe your shade. If necessary (for clear glass only), you may use a

white cloth dampened with a mild solution of soapy water to gently wash the shade. Rinse

thoroughly with a white cloth dipped in clean water. A mild glass cleaner may also be used. If

glass has a finish other than clear, do NOT use any cleaner or water, instead use a soft feather-

duster to gently remove dust; being careful to not remove the finish on the glass.

Mica Shades

Use a clean, soft cloth to wipe your shade. If necessary, you may use a white cloth dampened

with a mild solution of soapy water to gently wash the shade. Rinse thoroughly with a white cloth

dipped in clean water. A mild glass cleaner may also be used.

Scavo Glass (heavily textured) Shades

Use a clean, soft cloth to wipe your shade, using very light pressure. Do not rub hard as the

texturizing materials may wear off. If necessary, you may detach the shade and soak it in warm,

soapy water for 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Dry completely before reattaching.

Tiffany Art Glass Shades

Use a clean, soft cloth to wipe your lamp. Cleaning products containing ammonia should not be

used as it can affect the finish on the solder. Solder is a metal that can oxidize (tarnish), which

results in a white film on the solder. This can be removed and prevented with a light coating of

lemon oil.

BASES

Brass Bases

Our brass bases are lacquered to prevent tarnishing; therefore, using a brass cleaner is not

necessary. To maintain the finish, use a clean, soft cloth to wipe your lamp.

Crystal Bases & Accents

To maintain the brilliance of the crystal, use a clean, soft cloth to wipe it down gently. You may

also use a crystal-cleaning spray available on the market.
