Using your Indigo Girl lamp is easy. First, find a stable spot for it in your room. Then, screw in a 100 - watt medium - base bulb. You can use the 3 - way switch to adjust the brightness according to your needs. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the crystal base and the ceramic body. For the linen shade, a gentle vacuuming can help keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the lamp's finish. Also, make sure the lamp is unplugged when you're cleaning or changing the bulb. If you notice any loose parts, don't try to fix them yourself; contact the manufacturer for assistance.
