How can I clean this chandelier?

Pic attached! Rented house - the balls are all covered in grease , so I don't think a damp cloth will do it. They don't unscrew/unclip from the top, so cant be removed. What can I use that will remove the grease, I'm so lost as to how to even start this!

I did one similar with hot water an ecloth and fairy liquid. Up a ladder for ages. Arms ached but it was worth it. Then I made sure it regularly had a quick wipe.

Lakeland used to sell something to clean chandeliers. I think it was a spray. Might be worth a look.

Ooooh thanks both! I shall try Lakeland first then, and if no luck, il just go with soapy water and ecloth then.

Baby wipes! Do mine in no time! Good luck.

John Lewis do a can of spray cleaner. Apparently you just spray it all over the chandelier, put a towel on the floor underneath it, and all the dirt combines with the spray and drips off onto the towel. I haven't tried it myself though.

I don't know if the attached pic shows it clearly enough, but I tried baby wipes and wooooowwww it looks better already. The only problem is that there is like hundreds of little balls, I'm 5'1, and pregnant with two toddlers. I really can't be arsed to be standing up on a chair stretching my hands over my head to clean them for hours and hours. I did 5 mins and my arms HURT! Ha. I will look in John Lewis/Lakeland for this magician spray and hope that means I don't have to do any actual physical work to get them clean!!!
