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:

  1. Disconnect the light from the electrical source before you clean
  2. If the lightbulb has been on, allow it to cool before you clean it
  3. For wall fixtures and outside lighting, remove the bowl or cover by loosening the screws that hold the cover in place.
  4. Dispose of bugs and large amount of debris from the cover
  5. Wash the cover or bowl in warm water and detergent, air dry it
  6. Use a vacuum cleaner attachment to clean the dust and debris from light fixture
  7. Use windex with a soft cloth to clean
  8. If it contains chrome clean it with chrome cleaner or polish
  9. 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.

I wanted to let you know what an excellent customer service experience that I had with Ivan Cartagena and his workers. Ivan was extremely professional, communicative and helpful during the whole process (we had flooding in our basement and Steamatic was the company appointed by my insurance company to complete the necessary work). The onsite workers were polite, professional and worked very cleanly and responsibly (our home was always respected and left clean after each time they were onsite). I would not hesitate to recommend Steamatic based on the experience I had.
