Using the Melanie table lamp is super easy. Just plug it into a power outlet and turn on the switch. You can place it on your desk for reading or next to your bed for a cozy bedtime glow. When cleaning, first make sure the lamp is unplugged. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the ceramic base. For the fabric lampshade, a soft brush can be used to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the lamp. If you need to move the lamp, hold it firmly by the base to prevent it from tipping over. Enjoy the warm and inviting light this lamp brings to your space.
