hat is a good way to clean fabric lamp shades

Ahhhh, just use a clean soft paintbrush and brush downwards
gently this will take off the dirt and dust quite effectively, it does for
me, never have to use any cleaners and my lamp shades look like new. Good
Luck !
Interesting that you should ask this question because just last
week I cleaned mine & they look marvellous!!
First I vacuumed away all the dust on them .. that was one heck of an
improvement already.
Then, in a spray bottle, I mixed some Oxy-Clean powder with lukewarm water & sprayed it evenly all over the lamp shade which I had placed into the bath tub. The dirt seemed to melt away before my eyes. After letting it soak for 10 minutes, using the shower head, I simply sprayed the entire lamp shade with cold water to rinse it until the water ran clear. I try to never use brushes or sponges on fabric for fear of roughing up the fabric & then it just doesn't look the same anymore. I then let the lamp shade air dry & it now looks like new! Good luck ~ I hope this BRIGHTENS ur day or at least ur lamp shades! ; )
First vacuum well. Then there are dry cleaning sponges used by
restoration people after a fire. You can often find these at janitorial
shops. You wipe the shades with these....carefully. I've even used the
dry erasers you could get at drafting supply stores, but so many people
are computer designing, I am having trouble finding those.
Use suds on a soft brush to rub any spots lightly. Then dip the
shade up & down. When the water gets dirty, change to clean sudsy water.
Wash the shade a second time. to rinse the shade, dip it up & down through
two or three changes of clean water. Don't worry if the cloth stretches &
sags while it is wet. It will tighten up for a snug fit when it gets dry.
To dry a fabric shade, tie a string to the middle of the frame. Then hang
it over the bathtub or hang it from a clothesline outdoors to drip dry. Or you can wipe the shade with a bath towel until it is almost dry. Then put it back on the lamp & turn on the light so the heat from the bulb will help it to finish drying. If the lampshade has ruffles, ''press'' them with ur finger
to clean mine i fill my sink up with warm water add some
washing up liquid and scrub them with a sponge !
Take a damp cloth to them.
