As a cleaning professional and owner of Axiom Floor Care, I have come across various tips and tricks of the industry that I am happy to share to all who are willing to listen. I hope these tips and tricks are of use to you and that they help you as they have helped me over the past few years.
While there are many products, you will find in many stores claiming to help clean and work miracles on your lighting fixtures one helpful product that I have used though it might not be considered conventional is car wax. I have found that car wax can come in handy in many situations in house cleaning and one thing in particular that it helps in fixtures is that it helps them to repel dust. dust on lighting fixtures is one of the most common problems that i find in homes. the fixtures are not always the first thing on your mind and are the easiest to forget about for long periods of time. after coating light fixtures the fixtures will stay dust free for a much longer time.
so how does this process work? what you want to do is go to your local auto parts store and get your self a good car wax Meguiars is one of my favorite brands and it can be found all around the country. start off by taking the glass off the fixture very delicately in some cases the glass will not come off so the waxing will need to be done carefully while on the fixture. the wax can be applied to metal and glass and even painted fixtures and will work equally well in all. after applying wax careful to make sure that no wax is applied into the sockets. Wait 15-30 minutes choose a microfiber cloth and polish the fixture and remove the wax. in the little crevices its helpful to use a que-tip to get all the wax off of those hard to reach places.
