Useful advice
The decoration of the ceiling is the chandeliers and all kinds of point lamps. And, of course, even the most pure ceiling does not spoil in a new way if dusty lighting devices will be mounted on it. It happens that a bulk crystal or glass chandelier with many elements is difficult to remove from the ceiling. Then, using a steady table or a stepladder, wash it right on the ceiling. Previously do not forget to unscrew the light bulb, and in the cartridge shove the paper.
As for dot lamps, it is better to disassemble them for full cleaning. The room must be de-energized, and carefully remove the lamps. If you are afraid that you can not return everything to the place, take a picture of the sequence in which you disassemble the design. You can try to drop light devices without removing them. But then it will not be possible to fully clean the dirt from the inside, which accumulated between the ceiling and the lamp. In addition, there is a risk of damage to the stretching surface. You can inadvertently pressing and increase cuts made for flashlights. There is also a risk of disrupting the connection of electrical wires.
