Maintenance Tips

• Lamp Shade: Dust regularly with a feather duster or soft, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, gently wipe with a soft white cloth dampened with mild soap and warm water. Avoid glass cleaners, ammonia, bleach, or abrasive compounds to prevent discoloration.

• Metal Base: Clean with a soft cloth soaked in mild detergent and warm water; rinse thoroughly and dry. To remove scuff marks, apply pre-softened paste wax as per label instructions. Avoid abrasive, acid, alcohol-based, or solvent-based cleaners to protect the finish.

• Walnut Base (if applicable): Dust with a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth, then wipe dry in the direction of the wood grain. For deeper cleaning, use a quality wood furniture cleaner monthly. Apply a good-quality furniture polish twice a year. Avoid aerosol cleaners, waxes, or oil-based polishes.

• General Care: Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. Ensure the tripod base remains stable; tighten any loose components as needed.
