Let&#8217;s look at the best ones together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">apple cider vinegar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A classic, but truly effective remedy:&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>apple cider vinegar<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All you need to do is pour&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>2 cups<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;into&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>2 liters of hot water<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the mixture by applying it directly to the candlestick with a&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>soft sponge<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>,<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;you can submerge the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>individual elements<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;of the candlestick you have disassembled in the mixture and leave them to&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>soak<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;for about&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>an hour<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then dry everything with a&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>microfiber cloth<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, which will help remove halos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">tea tree oil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A natural oil with a thousand properties:&nbsp; tea&nbsp;<strong>tree&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>oil<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;is truly miraculous for&nbsp; cleaning&nbsp;&nbsp;crystal&nbsp;<strong>chandeliers&nbsp; .<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get the most out of it, pour&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>a few drops<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;into the hot water you will use for washing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This oil will help remove even the smallest&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>impurities that have settled on the glass, as well as give it a&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;bright &nbsp;and&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>shiny&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>appearance<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plastic candlesticks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Increasingly common in contemporary furniture,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>plastic chandeliers<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;are not synonymous with economy, but with&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>design<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>modernity<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, they attract a lot of&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>dust<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;that needs to be removed periodically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marseille soap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To remove all the dust from the plastic of the chandelier, you need to use a gentle yet effective product.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Marseille soap<\/strong>&nbsp;is ideal &nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melt some&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>flakes<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;or put&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>2 tablespoons<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;(if liquid) into&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>2 L of hot water<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;before mixing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, use the mixture by wiping it over the chandelier&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>with<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;a&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>sponge<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;or&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>soft&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>cloth&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, before rinsing.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You generally won&#8217;t need to dry it with a&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>microfiber cloth<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;since plastic, unlike glass, doesn&#8217;t run the risk of developing&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>halos<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metal candlesticks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For chandeliers with a metal frame or for crystal or glass chandeliers with a metal support, you should use a suitable remedy to remove dirt buildup and dust residue from the smoother surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lemon juice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quick and easy remedy is&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>lemon juice<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>two lemons<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and squeeze the juice into&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>two liters of hot water<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;. Then, use the mixture to wash the metal chandelier, cleaning it with a sponge or, if you&#8217;re more patient, with&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>a&nbsp; soaked&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>cotton ball<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let it dry and then rinse with&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>running water<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>metal<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;will be&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>clean<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>shiny<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, like it was just bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And what about Murano glass?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many candlesticks in our homes are made from precious&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Murano glass<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, often colorful and with an opaque but beautiful texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cleaning them<\/strong>&nbsp;requires careful&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>handling<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;as they are quite fragile.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, when it&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;comes to the actual&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>washing , you can use the same&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>remedies<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;as for&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>regular&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>glass&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ordinary cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From now on, your&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>candlesticks<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;are&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>clean<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><\/strong><strong>Unfortunately, it won&#8217;t be long before new&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>dust&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;accumulates&nbsp;&nbsp;on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to solve this problem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideally,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>dust<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;at least once a week: remove the dust carefully, using a&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>microfiber<\/strong>&nbsp;cloth &nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is undoubtedly a tedious process, but it will save you a lot of time and effort later on!<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/trucosparalacasa.com\/como-limpiar-a-fondo-los-candelabros-para-la-limpieza-de-primavera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the arrival of&nbsp; spring,&nbsp;&nbsp;a&nbsp;&nbsp; thorough&nbsp;&nbsp;house cleaning is almost essential to welcome the&nbsp;&nbsp;warmer&nbsp; months&nbsp;&nbsp;in the best possible way &nbsp;!
