How to Clean a Fabric Lampshade

My lampshades started to collect some dust and unsightly dirt spots on the shades.    I washed them and they came out like brand new. 

 

Step One:  Remove the lamp shades from the lamp base.

Step Two:  Fill a clean bathtub with warm water and light detergent, such as a few drops of dish washing soap.

Step Three: Immerse the entire lampshade in the water.

Step Five: Rinse the shade.

Step Six: Remove the shade from the water, letting all the water drain from the shade.
