He makes chandeliers sparkle again
by Margie Kacoha
PALM BEACH, FL - Alan Martuneac of Palm Beach, owner of Chantelle Chandelier Cleaning, started his business here in 1991. Now, he dismantles and cleans chandeliers that hang in private homes and local shops.
Martuneac is often called in to do the work that was traditionally relegated to the household staff. According to Martuneac, it isn't unusual for maids or butlers to injure themselves while taking down a chandelier for cleaning. A fear of heights can be a handicap, and Martuneac said looking down at the floor through the crystals of a chandelier can cause vertigo.
An average chandelier of 300 to 400 pieces can translate into a painstaking cleaning process, taking a full day's work. The mobile telephone number for Chantelle Chandelier Cleaning is (561) 371-6444.
