Using your Blue Swirl Lamp is easy. First, place it on a stable surface like a nightstand or dresser. Screw in a 100-watt medium base bulb into the socket. Then, plug the lamp into a power outlet. Use the 3-way switch to adjust the light brightness according to your needs. When cleaning the lamp, gently dust the porcelain vase and the base with a soft, dry cloth. For the linen shade, you can use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the lamp, as they may damage the finish. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to prevent discoloration and damage. If you need to move the lamp, handle it carefully to avoid any accidental breakage.
