FABRIC SHADES
Dust regularly with a feather duster or a soft dry cloth.
To remove dirt and grime use a lint brush or fi ne bristle brush and rub gently.
Remove stains and accumulated dust using a soft white cloth or sponge and a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Gently wash away the dirt or stain and then
rinse with a clean cloth and fresh water. Allow the shade to dry in the sun or with the use of a hair dryer.
METAL BASES
Dust regularly with a feather duster or a soft dry cloth.
When more thorough cleaning is necessary, use mild soap and warm water and lightly wipe the surface using a soft white cloth. Rinse using fresh water and a soft white
cloth to remove all soap residue. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
RESIN AND PAINTED BASES
Dust regularly with a feather duster or a soft dry cloth.
Remove accumulated dirt by wiping the entire base with a soft clean cloth and a solution of warm water and mild soap. Rinse with fresh water and a clean cloth and
then dry thoroughly using a soft clean cloth.
BRASS BASES
Brass lighting fi xtures are protected with coat of clear lacquer to keep the fi nish from tarnishing, so brass polish is not necessary. Damage to this protective coating
from harsh cleaning products may lead to a tarnished fi nish.
Dust regularly with a feather duster or a soft dry cloth.
To remove accumulated dirt use mild soap and warm water and lightly wipe the surface using a soft white cloth. Rinse using fresh water and a soft white cloth to re
move all soap residue. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
WOOD BASES
Dust regularly using a soft cloth or furniture duster.
Occasional treatments using lemon oil will prevent the wood from drying while also helping to preserve the luster of the fi nish. Apply a small amount of lemon oil to a
soft clean cloth (do not put the oil directly on the wood base). Gently rub the oil over the entire surface of the wood base. Buff to fi nish with a soft clean cloth.
CERAMIC BASES
Dust regularly using a soft cloth or furniture duster
When necessary, clean the base of your ceramic lamp using a soft clean cloth and a solution of mild soap and warm water. Wipe thoroughly, but gently, then rinse using
a clean cloth and fresh cold water.
LEATHER BASES
Dust regularly using a soft cloth or furniture duster
Avoid placing leather based light fi xtures in direct sunlight
Occasional treatment using leather conditioner will maintain the look and prolong the life of your leather lighting fi xture.
CRYSTAL BASES & ACCENT PIECES
Dust gently on a routine basis using a feather duster.
Wipe the crystal surface and all accent pieces with a clean, soft cloth on a regular basis to maintain the brilliancy of the crystals.
OUTDOOR LIGHTING
Routinely wipe the exterior surface of outdoor lighting fi xtures with a soft clean cloth.
Use glass cleaner to keep the glass clean and clear.
Car wax can be used on the metal surface to preserve and protect the fi nish of your outdoor lighting fi xture. Apply twice a year and follow the directions on the product.
MIRRORS
Dust regularly with a soft clean cloth or furniture duster.
To clean the mirror(s) use a soft cloth and mild solution of distilled white vinegar and warm water.
Do not use window cleaners that contain ammonia to clean mirrored lighting fi xtures.
