To clean fairy lights effectively, follow these steps using Bar Keepers Friend:
- Remove and Prepare: Take the fairy lights out of the water (if applicable) and lay them on a dry drop cloth or paper towels.
- Apply Cleanser: Sprinkle Bar Keepers Friend Powder Cleanser onto the light bulbs.
- Rub Gently: Using a soft cloth, gently rub the Bar Keepers Friend into the surface of each bulb.
- Let it Sit: Allow the powder to sit on the bulbs for about one minute.
- Wipe the String: While waiting, wipe any excess powder from the string of the lights.
- Rinse and Dry (Optional/If Applicable): If necessary, lightly rinse the bulbs with water, ensuring no water gets into the electrical components, and thoroughly dry them. Otherwise, simply wipe away the powder residue with a damp cloth.
- Test Before Use: Before rehanging or storing, ensure the lights are completely dry and test them to confirm they are working correctly.
