Using your Flossie lamp is a breeze. First, find a nice spot in your room for it. Then, screw in a medium - base bulb with a maximum wattage of 100. You can adjust the light using the 3 - way switch. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the clear acrylic base and the antique gold leaf parts. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finish. Also, be careful not to drop the lamp as the acrylic base and composite vase could break. Store the lamp in a dry place if you're not using it for a long time.
