Dust loves a light fitting, but renewing the sparkle is a doddle.

Every week: Get the duster brush attachment on your vacuum and simply suck away to remove dust from lights and lamps.

More stubborn marks can be removed with a dampened cloth. Don’t forget the light bulb – if it’s covered in dust it will smell acrid when warm and won’t work as efficiently.

Really good tip...!!!! to clean your lamp shades put half a cup of Lenor in a bowl of warm water and wipe them down... when finished every time you turn your light on it will smell lovely and fresh....

Brighten a whole room by dry dusting the light bulbs! Also from learning the hard way: NEVER wipe those light bulbs with a dryer sheet! It smells so good at first, then the perfume burns and smokes and turns your bulb black. Live & learn!

Rub a small amount of aromatherapy oil onto light bulbs (make sure they are turned off) when the lights are turned on the bulbs heat up and you get a lovely scent!

The lazy person's approach to cleaning light fixtures: Remove the glass globes from your light fixtures, place them in the top rack of your dishwasher, and run them through a normal cycle. Don't try this with antiques or lead crystal globes as the dishwasher powder might cause etching.M

Wipe essential oils to light bulbs and radiators as it heats it will be like air freshener but no CFC gases.

Always check manufacturer's instructions first. Always try a test patch first. If you are unsure as to whether the item you are cleaning is suitable for our instructions, take professional cleaning advice first.
