Using this lamp is a breeze. Just plug it into a power outlet and turn on the switch. You can place it on a bedside table for a warm, soft glow at night or on a living room side table to add a touch of style. When cleaning, make sure the lamp is unplugged. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the metal parts. For the white shade, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but make sure it's not too wet. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finish of the lamp. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading over time.
