The shell is fragile and can break like thin glass. To keep your chandelier clean, gently remove dust from the capiz shells and the metal frame with a duster or a soft dry cloth or use compressed air. If needed, use a mild soap solution, wipe the chandelier carefully with a damp cloth, and remove any wet residue with a dry cloth. Because of the intricate detailing of Kouboo's chandeliers, clean them with utmost care to avoid damage.
