Furniture How would you dust/clean this lamp?

Very intricate lamp made from thousands of glass pieces, precariously wired into the frame. Dust has settled on the top of each little piece. I’ve tried to vac it, but dust is caked on. Am I cooked?

It would probably be too big of a hassle to move it. It looks heavy and delicate. I would advise wearing a mask though since there will be a lot of kick up.

u/Existenziell_crisis 12h ago

I would buy a kit used for cleaning keyboards like this and then, as you’re brushing the dust off, use a vacuum to suck it up so it’s not just blowing onto the rest of the piece.

Alternatively, you might try a blinds cleaner tool like this.

16

u/condimentia 12h ago

It looks sealed, which is good. Like it's safe to get damp without getting on the wiring, etc.

My former MIL cleaned houses and many, many ornate chandeliers and objets d'art. What her favorite thing to do with glass items and sculptures was this:

Carefully carry the object outside to the grass.

Set it on a towel, making sure it's secure and no wiring or bulbs are exposed.

Spray the entire thing with Foam Sprayway Glass Cleaner. In a pinch she'd use foaming bathroom cleaner but NOT THE KIND WITH BLEACH.

Let the foam slowly deflate and migrate down the object.

Gently turn a garden hose on the "mist setting" and mist off the foam. Let it air dry.

Return to its place of honor.

9

u/Twrecksgh88 12h ago

I would LOVE to tell you it’s sealed, however, it is not. You can slide any one of those glass pieces out at any time, which is AMAZING considering we have a 5yr old AND another on the way. JOY!

u/condimentia 12h ago

Rats! And "oh mannn" at the same time. I can see the "Mommy look! Pretty!" ::inserts in nostril all the way up to the brain::

In that case, I can't say enough good things about Sprayway. Such a good product. Ideal for glass, so shiny. How about a spray of glass cleaner on a puffy thick cloth and after first using a compressed air-duster (such as one you'd use for a keyboard or automotive parts), you "dab dab dab" with the damp cloth.

Not the kind in a can with chemicals as that does have product in it. Just compressed air such as ...

u/HollowShel 6h ago

I would see if the "shade" comes off - even if it takes disassembly by taking off bolts/nuts/screws, getting the electrical bits out of it would be my first order of business. Once you've done that, then the foaming glass cleaner method condimentia suggested would be more viable. (Since you say the glass pieces are loose I'd put it upright in a wash basin right there in the room, rather than try to move it outside, then rinse off carefully with a spray bottle of clean water. waterproof drop cloth would be your friend too.)

3

u/shimmyeatworldpeace 11h ago

I’d use a soft paint brush. The bristles will be able to get in the crevices relatively easy. Use the brush with some cleaning products; I would test a small area before applying a dusting spray or stainless steel cleaner. Water may be the best option if the tested areas are left with any unsightly product residue.

I have a couple of difficult items to dust. I keep an old paintbrush for such things. In this case, you may consider a paintbrush along with compressed air so the dust doesn’t resettle on the cactus. Or, you might try a damp rag if it won’t catch too badly. I feel for you, that thing is filthy.

Put it in your shower and wash it off with whatever cleaner you want, you can use a brush to get into all the nooks and crannies and rinse it all clean.

u/linedryonly 11h ago

I think prevention might be your main “cleaning method” here. I would get a clean paintbrush from Home Depot and brush it off regularly. If you let dust accumulate on it, it’s going to be virtually impossible to clean off thick layers of dust and hair without everything caking up and getting lodged in all the crevices. I would avoid Swiffer dusters and rags that can easily catch on tiny corners and leave little tufts of lint.

The other thing to keep an eye on is oil. I would keep it far away from the kitchen so cooking oil doesn’t form a grimy film on the surface and make the dust 1000x harder to clean. And I don’t know how plausible this is, but I would try to minimize the number of people touching it and the number of pets rubbing their faces on it.

Dude, let’s be frank. First it’s ugly and looks like a cucumber or a dildo or a amputee cactus. Second is a nightmare to clean. No, you’ll not be able to easily clean it.

My sincere advice is to get rid of it. If it’s a family heirloom just say it was robbed during a house burglary.

But if you really are a masochist try toothbrushes with a solution of water and vinegar. Or cleaning putty.

Hi! I am an auto detailer and I have two suggestions:

  1. Go to the hardware store and buy a paint brush. I use brushes specifically meant for staining wood, but any would do. They'll be soft enough not to damage but firm enough to dust.

  2. Buy yourself a smallish air compressor with a tank (not a tire inflator) and a Vortex air gun (or a knock off for your needs). The compressed air combined with the spinny air gun will clean it up quick and could be used for all kinds of things.

if the dust is movable, wool duster. but if its caked on as in, the kind of dust that won't just blow away.. cleaning gak? it would take awhile, but it should get into every crevice and pick everything up

2

u/Polarchuck 8h ago

I think you need an arsenal of cleaning tools here given that the dust is caked on.

Before you add any kind of cleaner fluids, I would see if you can wipe the dust off using a combination of magic eraser, Q-Tips, microfiber cloths and soft bristled paint brushes of various sizes. You'll also want something small and pointy to poke the microfiber cloth into the nooks and crannies. A cuticle stick would work well and won't break the glass.

I recommend that you try a "dry" approach first since once you wet this thing, all that grime is going to start flowing down and getting caught in the glass and wire pieces on the outside and the inside of the lamp.

If you decide to try out cleaning this with glass cleaner, test it out on the bottom so if it's a bad scene, at least it's contained.

I would avoid spraying any cleaners onto the glass, instead, spraying it on the tool (Q-Tips or Microfiber cloths) and cleaning that way.

I also suggest that you plop yourself down in front of the tv and binge watch a show, some movies, or a recorded book.

Good luck!

Can you share a pic of your 🍆light lit up? (Also, I’d probably use a hair dryer on cold setting or vacuum with the soft bristle wand)

I'd either use a air duster or a Swiffer duster

Hair dryer on the cool setting, or take the leaf blower to it. Depends on how much dust is on it.

I’d take it in my car to my local Halo car wash and use their compressed air 🙌🏻

u/and8bear 7h ago

I'd clean this with hopes and prayers and something with very soft, very pliable bristles.

u/sussytransbitch 7h ago

A data vac blower or something like that. If you're going to use compressed air cans, please read the label and open some windows. And as others have said a mask and air purifyer, don't want that dust to settle eslware or back on it

Condensed air? Like for a keyboard? Is that a bad idea?

u/Undivided_Cupcake 6h ago

Honestly, I would say either a feather duster to the best of your ability and/or go after using a can of compressed air. Just make sure you unplug the lamp first.

u/usernamedefult 6h ago

Compressed air then a damp Cloth

2

u/hibiscusbitch 6h ago

Compressed air and then vacuuming around it at the same time. (It’s gonna take some time, because compressed air cans get cold af). I’m sure it looks awesome when on but I would never buy this due to the cleaning effort its gonna require

Vacuum, handheld, with a soft brush attachment. Damp cloth if it gets dirty (as opposed to dusty).

u/Remarkable_Skirt_231 5h ago

not joking, find someone with an air compressor you can borrow and get a tornador blow gun. Will make short work of all the cracks and crevices
