How to Clean Light Fixtures

How to Clean Light Fixtures

  • Dust the light fixture first
    Always start by dusting to remove loose debris before wiping.
  • Turn the light off before hand‑cleaning
    This prevents heat‑related burns and reduces the risk of breaking a hot bulb.
  • Bathroom light fixtures
    Dust with a feather duster.
    To hand clean, use a 2‑step ladder or sturdy stool. Wipe the entire fixture with a lightly damp microfiber cloth, including the base, decorative pieces, and bulb.
    Some bathroom fixtures only have a bulb and a base—clean both thoroughly.
  • Hanging light fixtures
    Dust the entire fixture, including the chain all the way up to the ceiling.
    Hand clean the inside and outside of the decorative piece with a lightly damp cloth.
    Wipe the bulbs gently.
  • Difficult or detailed fixtures
    Some fixtures have ridges or grooves that trap dirt.
    These are usually glass—spray cleaner carefully on the outside only (avoid spraying near electrical areas).
    Use a toothbrush to scrub dirt, grease, and grime out of each groove.
    Wipe each ridge individually to remove residue.
  • Do the best you can
    Some fixtures are high, awkward, or uniquely shaped. Clean safely and thoroughly within reach and training.
  • We do not remove light fixture. We clean them in place -if a client is willing to take them down then we will clean them, let them dry and client reinstalls fixture.
