How to clean lamp shades
l have lamp shades in light color fabrics, are there any home remedies to
clean them?
if they are not dirty but just dusty, use canned air, blows it
right off of the shades without harming or discoloring the fabric
Fabric shades that have been glued together (not stitched) must
not get wet. The glue will fail. Use a duster to remove the loose grim,
then apply dry cleaning fluid to a rag & gently wipe the shade. Be sure
you always are wiping with a clean portion of the rag or you will simply
redistribute the grime.
Dry Cleaning Fluid is a highly toxic & flammable chemical that is used at dry cleaners to remove dirt & soil from clothing. Dry cleaning fluid is also available commercially for use on washable & dry cleaning clothing. Dry cleaning fluid is extremely toxic & flammable. Follow directions carefully. Use in a well-ventilated area. Never use dry cleaning fluid in the washing machine or the dryer.
use a lint roller to pick up the dust
They key is to dust them regularly. If they get too dirty,
they never return to a good clean anymore.
put a little soap and water on a cloth and stroke gently it
works for me
Feather duster
Go to any auto section in your store and buy Tuff Stuff (It is
used to clean car upholstry) but I have used it to clean lamps shades. It
comes in a foam and you spready it on with a sponge and when dry you just
vacuum the shade. Good Luck!!
Sprinkle baking soda on them, rub gently and gently brush off.
A normal adult usually knows how to clean them, b/c you don't,
I assume they are very very dirty, so, throw them away. Very dirty lamp
shades can not be cleaned.
try using the brush attachment to your vaccuum.
or banging them gently outside to get rid of dust.
