How should I clean lamp shades? The attachment on my vacuum doesn’t seem clean enough. ?
I have white / off white silk shades that get really dusty. How often should I clean them, and what’s the best way to do it?

I’m a guy, but I have had the same problem with my shades.
A while back, I had decided to dump the old dirty one, although they were in good shape, but thought I would try to clean them
I filled the kitchen sink, and added some soap powder and a small amount of TSP.
Then I just dipped the shades in the soapy water, and splashed them about a bit. I was surprised to see how clean they were, like new. I rinsed them off with cold water, let them sit and dry and then re-installed them.
You can give that a try. One good thing, new shades are not that expensive.
It worked for me, hope it will for you too.
Good Luck. -
