Care & Maintenance
for Your Lighting

Thoughtful care helps preserve the craftsmanship, finishes, and enduring beauty of your Quoizel fixture.
General Care

Dust Regularly
  • Use a soft, dry cloth or feather duster to remove surface dust and maintain a refined finish.

Spot Clean Gently
  • If needed, use a mild soap-and-water solution on a soft white cloth; wipe lightly and rinse with a clean, damp cloth.

Avoid Harsh Cleaners
  • Do not use abrasives, ammonia, or chemical cleaners, as they may dull delicate finishes. Do not wash any parts in the dishwasher.

Protect the Shade
  • Keep shades away from excess moisture and prolonged direct sunlight to help prevent fading, warping, or discoloration.

  • Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the stone’s natural elegance.
  • For occasional cleaning, use warm water or a neutral soap on a soft cloth; avoid acidic or citrus-based cleaners that may etch the surface.
