Rubbing alcohol mixed equal with water. One drop of dawn dish soap. Leave it hanging and hold something under it to catch the drips. Spray away. A lot of times you dont even have to dry it off. It will dry sparkly clean.

It all depends on how much work you are willing to do and what it is made of.
If you can remove the glass/crystal pieces, I'd say use a mild natural dish soap and wash each one seperate then let dry. Then use a soft cloth to sort of "polish" the glass/crystals. Then clean any metal with plain water and a soft cloth. Using this method will get it clean and will not damage it regardless of if it is glass, crystal, plastic, etc.
If it has a lot of glass, use 50% vinegar to 50% water and wash only the glass with this mixture. Do not get this mixture on metal or plastic as it "could" damage it under certain circumstances.
Good luck!

Yes, go to a good lighting store and they sell a product called Sparkle. You line the floor with plastic or papers and then spray it on the chandelier. The dirt just rolls off and leave a nice clean glossy look.

Warm water and gentle dish soap always works. Depends on what your chandelier is made of. I know instead of going out and buying Jewelry cleaner for your Jewelry, you can just use Windex. Cleans like a charm!! All jewelry, gold, silver, and
especially diamonds look shiny. Like you just bought it. Shiny & new. Could mix windex with water. It will come out bright and crystal clear.

I just read an article that says you should never spray a chandelier and let it drip-dry. The water settles in the recesses of the metal fixture and will eventually corrode or rust it. The site suggested making a "map" of the lamp, removing the crystals, washing them in mild dish soap, then replacing them on the lamp.

If your chandelier is crystal, not glass, than warm mild soapy water only. If ti is regular glass, you can use vinegar, preferably apple cider or white vinegar and warm water.

Ammonia and water makes crystal shine like diamonds. That's what I use. Take the crystals off first, don't clean them while they are still attached to the lamp.

Put you some warm water, and 2capfuls of vinegar in a bucket and use a cloth rag to clean with,works perfect all the time for me.
