How to Remove Dirt From Lampshades
- 1). Detach the lampshade from the base.
- 2). Using the hose attachment of a vacuum, remove any dust that has settled onto the shade.
- 3). Fill a large sink with warm water. Add a few drops of liquid soap and swish around until bubbles begin to form.
- 4). Place the lampshade into the sink and turn until all sides have become wet. Wipe the exterior and interior of the shade in an up-and-down motion with a clean, white cloth, focusing on any stains.
- 5). Empty the sink and replace with clean water to rinse the shade.
- 6). Allow the shade to dry fully before replacing onto the lamp.
