Restoring Brilliance At 5.2m!
At The Chandelier Guys, we specialize in restoring chandeliers to their former brilliance, no matter their size or age. Our recent project involved a 5.2-meter-high flush-mounted crystal chandelier, installed 18 years ago with only minimal spray cleaning over the years. While sprays help with maintenance, it’s no substitute for a proper deep clean.
Our team meticulously hand-cleaned every crystal and wire to remove years of dust buildup, then upgraded the bulbs to cool white LEDs, enhancing the chandelier’s sparkle like never before.
The Problem: Dust & Diminished Brilliance
Over nearly two decades, dust had settled on the delicate crystals and wires, causing the chandelier to lose its clarity and light refraction. While spray solutions provide surface-level cleaning, they can’t remove embedded dirt or restore a chandelier’s full brilliance. The old bulbs also emitted a warmer, dimmer light, muting the crystal’s sparkle.
A proper hand-cleaning and relamping was the only way to revive this stunning fixture.
The Restoration Process
Cleaning a large chandelier at height requires precision, patience, and the right tools. Here’s how we restored it:
1. Hand Cleaning Every Crystal & Wire
We carefully cleaned each crystal by hand, using specialized solutions to dissolve years of dirt without damaging the delicate components. This meticulous approach ensured maximum light refraction and a dazzling finish.
2. Upgrading to Cool White LED Bulbs
We replaced all outdated bulbs with energy-efficient cool white LEDs, which not only reduce energy costs but also enhance the brilliance of the crystals, creating a crisp, luxurious glow.
3. Final Inspection & Testing
Once fully cleaned, we inspected the chandelier to ensure every crystal was flawless and every bulb was perfectly positioned to maximize its sparkle.
The Results: A Stunning Transformation
Looking at the before and during images, you’ll notice how some crystals appeared dull and yellowed due to years of dust buildup. As we worked through each strand, the difference became obvious—clear, bright crystals replacing the faded look of the past.
After the full restoration, the chandelier was radiant once again, turning it back into the statement piece it was always meant to be.
Why Professional Cleaning Matters
While spray cleaners help with regular upkeep, nothing replaces a professional deep clean—especially for chandeliers with years of built-up dust and grime.
