oh my these are gorgeous. Can you take them down all in one piece? I ask because if you could they would be much easier to clean. Did you make them yourself?
thanks Marg. i have to take out each crystal and each black circle one by one. the only way to come down in one piece is to take down the whole fixture from the ceiling! like when moving! i did not make them myself! when we bought them i was not into crafting yet! plus i would have to be really experienced to do something like that!
noooooo...the round metallic bases, which support the crystals are attached to the main fixture. the only thing i can do is clean them while hanging, which is less time consuming but in this way i can not clean the bases . i take them down 3-4 times a year, not whenever they need cleaning! otherwise i should be getting a salary for this!
As for cleaning them, my aunt had something she sprayed on her crystal chandelier that cleaned it without taking it down. She had a cover her dining table to protect it and catch the drips, but it always looked beautifully clean and sparkling.
you're welcome Niki. I wanted to change my profile pic and i had to add a us zip code, i cannot even choose another country , so i chose Yakima! i live only a few blocks away!hahahaha! Thank you Becky. I have not found anything like that. It sounds really practical! Please let me know if you remember the name, i might be able to find it!
I have no clue of the name Zografia. It was decades ago that I remember her doing this. She's gone now, but her daughter might know. I'll ask her next time I call. Which I think I'll do now since I keep forgetting to call early enough in the day before she heads to work. I'll let you know if she knows the name.
There's more if you Google that phrase. I was surprised since I barely got the first few letters of chandelier typed when Google "guessed" the rest. The one linked above has a 4.5 star rating too.
My cousin did say she remembered her Mom covered the dining table in a plastic drop cloth then covered that with layers of newspapers to catch the drips. By the time it was dry it was streak free and sparkled like new. Like I said above, it always looked beautiful when we visited.

By the way, there are a number of Hometalkers from Greece, but I think you were the first!
