Outdoor globe lights are a great way to add a touch of elegance and style to your outdoor living space. They create a warm, inviting atmosphere and can be used to light up pathways, decks, patios, and more. But with all the exposure to the elements, they can become dusty and grimy over time. Cleaning your outdoor globe lights regularly is important for keeping them looking their best and ensuring they give off adequate light.
What You’ll Need:
In order to properly clean your outdoor globe lights you will need some basic supplies: a soft cloth, mild detergent or soap, water, and a ladder or stepstool if needed.
Cleaning Instructions:
Begin by turning off the power to the light fixture. If you’re cleaning an exterior wall-mounted light fixture, make sure you flip the breaker switch at your circuit box.
Next, use a soft cloth dampened with warm water to wipe down the outside of the fixture. If there is any stubborn dirt or grime that won’t come off easily with just water then use some mild detergent or soap mixed with warm water instead.
After wiping down the outside of the fixture use a ladder or stepstool if necessary to reach up and remove the glass shade. Gently rinse it in warm water as well as any other parts of the light that have become dirty. Once again you can use some mild detergent or soap if needed.
Allow all parts of the light to dry completely before reassembling it then turn on the power at your circuit box.
Conclusion:
Cleaning outdoor globe lights is not difficult but does require some careful attention in order to avoid damaging them. With some basic supplies and these simple steps you can keep your outdoor lighting fixtures looking their best for years to come!
