How Do I Clean Stain Glass?
Comments (10)Hi, I seem to recall that there were "chandelier cleaning kits" that came with a spray solution and a kind of upside-down umbrella catchment device.

You may need a toothbrush to get into the corners, and a final polishing with good ol' windex and a microfiber should get it as new. Casey...See More? Re Cleaning Vintage White Linens
Comments (3)Nothing with clorox in it!! I would suggest oxy clean, but it will definitly fade the color in any colored embroidery.

Remove from the soak carefully....wet cloth is weak....support the bottom and rinse in more distilled water....over and over until all runs clear...

Wait a few minutes and then rinse with clean damp cloth & water. When dry, polish or wax. If this does not work, it may be a permanent stain....See Moredonnawb
