First of all you remove the bulbs and take a soapy sponge to remove all dirt and dust. Rinse them and wipe dry and put them one side. Then lay a folded towel in the bottom of your sink, add detergent and half fill with medium water. Take a basin and will with clean hot water for rinsing and add a little ammonia to the rinse water, and dont forget to put a towel at the bottom aswell to keep glass from breaking.
Take the crystals and saucers off the chandelier a layer at a time. Wipe frame wit a cloth wrung out of suds. Wash the parts in the soapy water and rinse them in the ammonia water and wipe dry. Replace them so that you dont get mixed up with the layers. Do all, layers at a time untill your done. Replace bulbs into sockets.
