Using your Bugello lamp is easy. First, find a nice spot in your home, like beside a sofa or a bedside table. Screw in a medium - base bulb, up to 100 watts, and turn on the 3 - way switch to get the right amount of light. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the ceramic body. For the linen shade, a gentle vacuum with a soft brush attachment can help remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals on either the body or the shade as they could damage the cream glaze or the fabric. Keep the lamp away from direct heat sources to prevent any warping of the ceramic or damage to the shade. And that's it! Enjoy your stylish and functional lamp.
