Every homeowner would like to see certain drab parts of their house transformed into classy and glamorous rooms. One way you can do this is by installing Italian chandeliers. Given the fact that Italian chandeliers come in diverse sizes, colors and styles, it is not difficult to find a chandelier that will match the general motif of your home. Some of the styles of Italian chandeliers that you will find include antique Renaissance, Baroque and Venetian designs to chic modern designs.
Most Italian chandeliers share a common ornament, namely Murano glass. This type of glass is distinct for its wide variety of colors and flawless techniques by which it was crafted. Unlike other kinds of glass, Murano glass is devoid of flaws such as scratches, bubbles and inconsistencies.
Murano glass is available in a wide range of shapes and patterns, including geometric shapes, beads, pendants, fruits, flowers, pendants, faceted prisms, and many more. Murano glass can also be used to create colorful, high quality imitation jewels, which are sparkly, rainbow-colored additions to chandeliers.
The maintenance of Italian chandeliers will depend upon the type of material that is used to create its base frame. Wrought iron chandeliers will require minimal dusting and polishing as well as occasional treatments with rust prevention solution. In contrast, brass chandeliers need to be dusted and polished regularly to prevent tarnish from forming. Always remember to turn off the power to your Italian chandelier before cleaning as well as cover each light bulb with small plastic bags to prevent electrocution.
As for the upkeep of the Murano glass parts, regular dusting is usually sufficient. However, if dust has accumulated on the glass parts, it is more convenient to take down the chandelier. Remove each part and soak in warm water and mild soap. This is the best cleaning method, especially if the Murano glass has become discolored because of exposure to smoke.
For those who are a bit lazy to bring down their chandelier from the ceiling, one technique is to fill a glass with cleaning solution and bring it up to the dangling glass part, so that it is dipped in the solution. Take note though that you will be doing this while precariously perched on a ladder. If you want to prevent accidental falls and injuries, the safer way is still to detach the chandelier from the ceiling. Find out more ways on how you can maintain your Italian chandeliers today.
