The best crystal for lamp crystal prisms is borosilicate glass such as K9 crystal given its high optical clarity.
However, in general, any type of glass-based crystal is a good idea. Unless budget is your main concern, we mainly recommend avoiding cheaper alternatives like plastic and acrylic crystals which could result in a tackier look.
To effectively clean a crystal lamp, you need to use a special solution, soft lint-free material, and dry the crystal thoroughly.
Crystal lamps lend a gorgeous gleam to the whole room, but if you clean them incorrectly, you can leave smudges or streaks, marring the effect. To maintain a dust-free facade, aim to clean your crystal twice a year.
The best solution to clean your crystal lamp is a glass cleaner or a solution of one part isopropyl alcohol to four parts distilled water in a spray bottle. Spray a soft cotton cloth with the glass cleaning solution of your choice, and wipe the crystal lamp clean. Immediately wipe down the lamp with a clean, dry cloth to ensure smudgeless illumination.
