PSA- Don't clean your lights :)

[ssmjlm]

So I took down our kitchen light and was washing the bowl out. Well I scrubbed too hard and the paint started to come off the inside!

I thought the light was just frosted not painted. Well DH said just scrub the rest of it off and we'll see how it looks.

I actually like it better bc more light comes through.

I know this isn't the first time I've cleaned the light, but maybe I just wiped it out before.

I've cleaned lots of lights and never had an issue.

My SIL bought a house that was completely nasty with lights that had some weird frosting/paint on them. We went to scrub and it all came off. We kept scrubbing and it looked 100xs better...ha.
So I know what you mean.

Mine are all marbleized in this house so I've never that had issue here.

@justdairy, the weird thing is we have other lights from the same family that are just frosted, so I guess in my mind I thought they all were.

DH claims this was just part of my master plan for new lights.

Sometimes it pays to have accidents. I'm glad it worked out for you
