How to: Clean Your Fluorescent Lighting
Compact fluorescent light bulbs use less energy than standard light bulbs but they manage to still provide the same light quality. Since light fixtures are known to attract bugs, dirt, and dust, they need to be cleaned every so often. When people do their daily house cleaning they often forget about cleaning the lights.
Here are some steps on how to clean your fluorescent lights:
- Disconnect the light from the electrical source before you clean
- If the lightbulb has been on, allow it to cool before you clean it
- For wall fixtures and outside lighting, remove the bowl or cover by loosening the screws that hold the cover in place.
- Dispose of bugs and large amount of debris from the cover
- Wash the cover or bowl in warm water and detergent, air dry it
- Use a vacuum cleaner attachment to clean the dust and debris from light fixture
- Use windex with a soft cloth to clean
- If it contains chrome clean it with chrome cleaner or polish
- Now, clean the fluorescent light bulb, use a dry cloth to clean the ends of the bulb, if you bulbs spiral use a feather duster to clean it.
