Lampshades are a beautiful decorative piece and a very useful item; one can have in their house.

However, dirt and dust coat them up making them look very unflattering. However, with care and regular cleaning, these lampshades can greatly add to the beauty of your shelf.

If your lampshade is made up of fabric material, you can soak it up in soapy water and rinse it up. If the material is too delicate then you can rub the surface with a soapy sponge/cloth and clean of the stains.

However, before doing this you need to thoroughly dust the lampshade both inside out, once you have done this you can go ahead soaking the lampshade in soapy water.

When it comes to drying, you can dry out the lampshade in the sun. Or best put it on the lamp and turn the bulb on, the heat will speed up the drying process and this way your lampshade will dry quickly.

Regular dusting and care will ensure that you have a clean lampshade. Also, make sure that you switch off the lamp before dusting it.
