It’s not easy to reach those gorgeous but inaccessible chandeliers. And who has time to clean every single light fixture in your home or business? It’s a time-consuming effort, and unless you have professional experience, you may not be doing it right! The wrong cleaners or cloths can scratch up your light fixtures and ruin the finish, making your light fixtures dull and reducing the level of lighting they give off.
Let the professional window and glass cleaners at Total Window Service handle these tasks for you, freeing you to take care of other important things around the house or at your place of business. Or, take advantage of this valuable, time-saving service and use that time you would have spent cleaning to instead do something for yourself, even if it’s just taking a well-deserved break or even catching up on sleep! Maybe you can even take that weekend trip you’ve been dreaming of for a while now.
Chandelier Cleaning
Walk into virtually any lobby in New York City and you’ll find a beautiful chandelier decorating the space. It may be an eye-catching design centerpiece, but it can be a pain to clean. The first challenge is reaching it, especially in places with extra-high ceilings. Not everyone knows ladder safety well enough to handle this challenge without risking falls and injuries.
The next challenge is the time and effort it takes to clean every little piece that, collectively, makes up the chandelier, including the column, candle cups, arms, bulbs, chains, and dozens or even hundreds of glass prisms. Instead of wasting your valuable time getting an ornate chandelier sparkling clean, let us do the busy work. We’ll handle the job expertly and efficiently for you, giving you peace of mind and enabling you to once again enjoy the beauty of your chandeliers and other ornate light accents.
Light Fixture Cleaning
What’s more, we’ll clean every fixture in your home or building for you. Have you ever stopped to count exactly how many light fixtures you have? It’s a time-consuming process to get every single light fixture dusted, wiped, and washed to perfection. Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or building manager, you can save time and money by outsourcing your light fixture cleaning needs. Even if you’re renting your space, you’ll want to enjoy bright, clean light fixtures; our service can make this happen for you!

How often should a chandelier in a NYC apartment or lobby be professionally cleaned?
In NYC’s urban environment, dust, cooking grease, and airborne particulates accumulate significantly faster than in suburban homes. Residential chandeliers in apartments benefit from professional cleaning once a year. Hotel and co-op lobby chandeliers – which are on continuously and exposed to constant foot traffic – typically need cleaning every 6 months to maintain full light output and appearance. Fixtures above dining tables or near kitchen areas accumulate grease film faster and may need attention every 4-6 months.
Does chandelier cleaning require the electricity to be turned off - and does my building need an electrician present?
For safety, power to the fixture must be off during cleaning and must remain off until the fixture is completely dry. In most NYC residential buildings, this simply means switching off the circuit breaker for that fixture – no electrician is required. For commercial lobby chandeliers wired into building management systems, Total Window Service coordinates the shutdown timing with your building super or facilities manager in advance to avoid disrupting common area lighting during peak hours.
Can crystal chandelier prisms be cleaned in place, or do they need to be removed?
It depends on the fixture design and the level of soiling. Light dust accumulation can be addressed with an in-place spray cleaning method using a specialized non-residue crystal cleaner – each prism is misted and allowed to drip dry without any contact. Heavy grease or grime buildup – common in NYC apartments with open kitchen layouts – requires individual prism removal, hand washing, and careful reinstallation. Total Window Service assesses the soiling level before recommending the method, since unnecessary prism removal on antique or fragile fixtures carries its own risk.
What cleaning products are safe for antique brass, nickel, and bronze chandelier frames - and what should never be used?
Antique metal finishes are among the most commonly damaged during DIY chandelier cleaning. Ammonia-based glass cleaners – including standard window spray products – corrode brass and bronze patina on contact and cause permanent discoloration. Abrasive cloths scratch nickel and chrome finishes. Total Window Service uses pH-neutral, metal-safe solutions specific to each finish type. For intentionally aged or patinated antique frames, we use dry microfiber methods only, as any liquid can strip the finish that gives the fixture its value.
My NYC building has 20-foot ceilings - can Total Window Service access high-mounted chandeliers safely without damaging floors or walls?
High-ceiling access is one of the most common practical challenges in NYC townhouses, loft conversions, and pre-war buildings with grand entryways. Total Window Service uses adjustable non-slip ladder systems and protective floor pads that prevent scratching on hardwood, marble, and tile – surfaces common in NYC lobbies and foyers. For fixtures above 18 feet, we use scaffolding or motorized lifts where ceiling height and room configuration permit. All access work is covered under our $10 million general liability insurance policy.
Can chandelier and light fixture cleaning be bundled with window cleaning on the same service visit - and is it more cost-effective?
Yes – and this is the most efficient way to schedule both services for NYC homeowners and building managers. Combining chandelier or fixture cleaning with a window cleaning visit eliminates a second scheduling coordination, a second crew mobilization, and often reduces the total labor time since both tasks are completed in the same access setup. For property managers overseeing multiple units or common areas, Total Window Service offers bundled service pricing for buildings that require both window and fixture maintenance on a recurring schedule.
