How to Clean Fairy Lights?

Published in Cleaning Tips 1 min read

To clean fairy lights effectively, follow these steps using Bar Keepers Friend:

  1. Remove and Prepare: Take the fairy lights out of the water (if applicable) and lay them on a dry drop cloth or paper towels.
  2. Apply Cleanser: Sprinkle Bar Keepers Friend Powder Cleanser onto the light bulbs.
  3. Rub Gently: Using a soft cloth, gently rub the Bar Keepers Friend into the surface of each bulb.
  4. Let it Sit: Allow the powder to sit on the bulbs for about one minute.
  5. Wipe the String: While waiting, wipe any excess powder from the string of the lights.
  6. 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.
  7. Test Before Use: Before rehanging or storing, ensure the lights are completely dry and test them to confirm they are working correctly.
