FORT Facility Kft. - Surface cleaning, cleaning

Why is chandelier cleaning such a special task?

A chandelier can be made up of hundreds - sometimes thousands - of tiny components:

• crystal pendants
• prisms
• metal arms
• sockets
• chain suspension
• hidden electrical wiring

Each element reacts differently to moisture, cleaning agents and temperature.
This is not “window cleaning in the air.”
This is precision surface cleaning that requires expertise, attention and care.

How chandelier cleaning works

1. Assessment

Every project begins with a detailed inspection:

• condition of electrical wiring
• bulbs, sockets
• degree of oxidation
• structural stability
• removability

Heritage or antique chandeliers require special attention.

2. Protection and preparation

Cleaning starts with thorough covering and isolation.
Floors, furniture and surrounding surfaces are fully protected.
Our goal is to leave the environment just as clean as we found it.

3. Spray-based cleaning

Most chandeliers can be cleaned on-site, without disassembly.
We apply a specialised cleaning solution using a fine mist spray.

This method:

• provides even coverage
• reaches into tiny joints and crevices
• dissolves nicotine, grease and dust deposits
• does not damage crystal or metal surfaces

4. Rinsing with purified (osmosis) water

Dissolved contaminants are rinsed with purified, osmosis-treated water.

Osmosis water:

• leaves no limescale
• creates no streaks
• contains no minerals that would dry on the surface

Once dry, the crystal regains its full refractive power.
The result is often dramatic: the room appears brighter — without changing a single bulb.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a chandelier be cleaned?

In busy or high‑traffic spaces: annually.

Does the chandelier need to be taken down?

In most cases, no.
On‑site cleaning is faster, safer and more cost‑efficient.

Can heritage or antique chandeliers be cleaned?

Yes — with extra care.
Material assessment and condition checks are especially important.

Can the crystal elements be damaged?

No. Our method avoids any abrasive or scratching techniques.

Will cleaning improve brightness?

Yes.
Clean crystal refracts and scatters light more effectively, making the space feel brighter.

Is it possible with very high ceilings?

Yes.
We build scaffolding and work safely even in stairwells and large representative halls.

Is the process noisy or disruptive?

No.
The spray-cleaning method generates virtually no noise.

How long does drying take?

Usually within a few hours.
Purified water evaporates quickly and streak-free.

Will the area get dirty during cleaning?

No.
We protect all surroundings with sheeting and vacuum when finished.
We hand over a clean space.
