Antique Desk Lamps - Home - Home Accessories

If you are looking for table lamps for your home, you might want to consider buying some antique desk lamps because they can easily fit in with the rest of your furniture at home. You should get something that is pleasing to the eyes so that you will feel happier when you are doing your work in the house.

You might think that a table lamp is just for some light so that you can read or do your work at home. However, getting the right lighting choice can really affect your mood, and if you get moody most of the time, you will not be able to get things done! With an antique table lamp, you can get a country style effect to your room, and being relaxed, you are all set to get work done.

However, if you want your antique table lamps to last longer, you have to learn how to clean the lamps. Below are some tips to help you regardless of what kind of antique table lamps you have bought.

1. Dust is everywhere around us so your antique lamps are not spared from having grime and dust collected on them. If such dirt remains for too long, you will have a problem getting rid of it so you should remove the dust everyday.

2. Cleaning of the lamps should not be done with a wet cloth as it might cause the metal to rust. You should just use a soft dry cloth to remove the dust. Unless you have a glass shade antique lamp, then you might want to consider using a mild liquid cleanser with damp cloth to clean the lamps.

3. For lamps made of bronze, you might want to use a polish to ensure that the surface is well protected. You should clean the bronze lamp first with a damp cloth before applying the polish and let the polish remain for 3 - 4 minutes before cleaning it off.

Antique desk lamps can add on to the ambience of your home, but in order for them to last longer, you have to ensure that cleaning is done regularly. Regardless of the theme in your home, a few antique lamps make your home more country like and relaxing.
