First of all you will need a feather duster. You will also need a pair of clean white cotton gloves and a cleaning solution suitable for the type of material the chandelier is made of. If the light is made of brass then brass cleaner is required. If it is made of stainless steel then a cleaner suitable for this will be needed. You will also need a small tub of luke warm water.

From the top to the very bottom make sure to get into all the crevices. This is the first part of the process and gets all the dust and cobwebs away from the light. The next step is to apply the cleaning product to the light. This can be rubbed on with the gloves you are wearing. Applying the solution like this makes it easier to reach every part. Using a cloth is just too clumsy and the chances are plenty of the parts of the light will be missed. Once the solution has been applied it will need removing. So starting where you began placing the cleaner, use the same gloves you are wearing to wipe off the solution with the warm water. Doing it this way will prevent streaks and will get every last drop of cleaner off it.
