You have invested in the aesthetic appeal of your home with the Emotion Moon Light Bauhaus Sunset Pendant. It’s a stunning piece, but like all fine decor, it requires a little maintenance to keep its atmospheric magic alive.

Dust and smudges are the enemies of light refraction. A dusty lens can turn a vibrant sunset glow into a dull, muddy haze. Here is how to clean your mixed-material (glass and acrylic) pendant safely and effectively.

Understanding the Materials

This pendant features a unique combination of Glass and Acrylic. This is important because cleaners that work on glass can sometimes damage acrylic.

• Glass: Durable, scratch-resistant, but fragile to impact.
• Acrylic: Lightweight, prone to scratching if wiped with rough cloths, and sensitive to ammonia.

The Cleaning Toolkit

Before you start, gather these simple tools:

1. A sturdy stepladder.
2. Two microfiber cloths (one damp, one dry).
3. Mild dish soap mixed with warm water (avoid Windex or ammonia-based cleaners on the acrylic parts!).
4. A pair of cotton gloves (optional, but great for preventing fingerprints during re-assembly).

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

I typically follow these two principles when cleaning glass and acrylic light fixtures:

• Treat glass like car windows—use glass cleaner, but ensure it's thoroughly dried to prevent water spots;
• Treat acrylic like spectacle lenses—use only clean water, as the key concern is avoiding scratches.
  

1. Safety First

Turn off the light switch and let the bulb cool down completely. Safety is paramount.

2. Dusting

Use a dry microfiber cloth to gently remove loose dust from the top of the fixture. Do not use a feather duster, as the quills can sometimes leave micro-scratches on acrylic surfaces.

3. Washing

Dip your cloth into the warm soapy water and wring it out until it is just damp. Gently wipe the glass and acrylic surfaces. Support the fixture with your other hand to prevent it from swinging.

4. Drying (The Most Important Step)

Water spots can ruin the projection of the light. Immediately dry the surfaces with your fresh, dry microfiber cloth. Buff gently in circular motions to ensure a streak-free shine.

Maintaining the Atmosphere

We recommend a quick dusting every two weeks and a "wet clean" every three months. Keeping the fixture crystal clear ensures that the light diffusion remains accurate and the colors stay true.
