Then the next thing to do is remove the bulbs from within it before you then detach it from the chains. Taking it down to clean it is best to ensure that the surface of the table doesn’t become damaged by the cleaning materials you are using.
When you take down the light make sure that you have someone to assist you and ensure that you place it in on even surface on a soft cloth. This is especially important if the pool table light shade you have is made from glass.
Once the shade is down now the process of cleaning it can begin. The first thing you should do is use a soft brush or the brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust and debris that isn’t stuck to the surface from it.
As soon as this has been carried out the actual washing of the surface of the pool table light shades can begin. Remember to use a product for cleaning that is perfect for the material from which the shade is made. For glass ones you may find a mixture of warm water, detergent and vinegar will be sufficient.
However if the shade is made from metal then a specialist cleaning product may be required. When using such products it is important that you make sure that you follow the instructions provided by the manufacturers of it. If you don’t there is a big risk of damaging the shade and as a result may mean you having to replace it at some point in the future.
When it comes to cleaning the actual surface of the pool table light shades make sure that you use a clean soft cloth that has been dipped in the cleaning solution. Then very gently but firmly begin to wipe the surface. Once you have cleaned the whole surface of the shade now take another clean soft cloth that has been dipped in warm water to remove any of the cleaning product residues. Then allow the shade time to dry out completely before rehanging.
