Every Schonbek product is of heirloom quality and will last for generations.
To ensure it retains its brilliance and splendor for years to come, proper
care and regular cleaning are necessary. It is recommended that Schonbek
products, and particularly their crystal trim, be lightly dusted with a feather
or lambswool duster, or soft brush every two months, or whenever it
appears dull or dusty. A thorough cleaning should be completed every six
months.
Before cleaning a Schonbek product, rst locate the xture’s trim diagram.
This will assist in replacing the crystal trim in its proper location after
cleaning. Should a replacement trim diagram be required, please speak
with a Schonbek customer service representative, who can provide a new
diagram.
Schonbek recommends several different cleaning methods, depending on
the type of xture. Some xtures can be cleaned with limited removal of
crystal, while others must be completely untrimmed.
Place a soft towel or blanket directly beneath the xture to limit the damage
to both the crystal and the surface below the xture, should a piece of
crystal be dislodged during the cleaning process.
Extreme care must be taken around any electrical xture. For personal
safety and the safety of the product, be sure that the xture has been
turned off. Never rotate or spin the xture as this can cause the xture to
lose support and fall. Instead, move around the xture while cleaning.
WHITE GLOVE METHOD
Prepare a cleaning solution of one part isopropyl alcohol to three parts
distilled water and place in a clean spray bottle. Do not use packaged
cleaning uids, as many of these contain ammonia, which may degrade the
nish of the xture and the quality of the crystal. Wearing white cotton
gloves, spray one glove with the solution and keep one dry. Gently polish
each crystal with the damp glove and immediately wipe it with the dry glove.
Do not tug or pull on the crystal, as this may cause the connectors to chip
or crack the crystal, or dislodge it from the xture.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury due to re and/or electric
shock, never spray solution at or near the xture.
CRYSTAL REMOVAL METHOD
Gently remove trim and hand-wash the crystal in lukewarm water using a
mild detergent. Rinse in clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not
soak nished crystal such as Crystals from Swarovski Colors: Teak, Golden
Shadow or Silver Shade, for extended periods, as this may degrade the
crystal’s nish.
With the xture untrimmed and turned off, wipe the frame, including the
light bulbs once they are completely cool, with a soft dry cloth. Never use
any type of cleaner on the frame of the xture as it may degrade the nish.
Wearing white gloves, nger-cots or using a soft clean cloth, gently replace
the trim as directed in the trim diagram.
