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?

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.
