Work Safety Practices
Your property and our team's well-being come first
Our Safety Commitment
At Clean Chandeliers, safety isn't an afterthought — it's built into every aspect of how we work. With over 36 years in the industry, we've developed rigorous safety protocols that protect both your property and our team.
Insurance & Liability
We carry comprehensive general liability insurance on every job. This protects your property and gives you peace of mind knowing that you're working with a fully insured professional team.
Property Protection
- Floor and furniture coverings: We lay down protective drop cloths and padding beneath every chandelier before we begin.
- Careful handling: Every crystal, glass piece, and component is handled with clean, lint-free gloves and treated as if it were irreplaceable.
- Documentation: We photograph fixtures before and after cleaning so you can see the results and we maintain a record of the work.
- Appropriate cleaning solutions: We use cleaning products matched to the specific materials of your fixtures — never harsh chemicals that could damage delicate surfaces.
Ladder & Height Safety
- Professional-grade ladders and scaffolding rated for the work being performed
- Three-point contact rule followed at all times
- Stable, level setup verified before any elevated work begins
- Fall protection equipment used when working at significant heights
Electrical Safety
- All chandeliers and fixtures are powered off and verified before work begins
- We allow bulbs and fixtures to cool completely before handling
- Electrical components are kept dry and handled with appropriate care

Service Agreement
Before every job, we ask customers to review and sign a service agreement. It covers pre-existing conditions, scope of work, photography and documentation practices, workspace preparation, and flooring considerations. We share it ahead of time so there are no surprises and everyone is on the same page. Read the full service agreement.
