How to dust your lamp shades
This task seems easy, but lampshades are really difficult to clean. Clothes don’t seem to work on the fabric fibers of the lampshades, and you don’t want a damp cloth that could create water discoloration of the lamp shade.
The perfect tool for the job is a lint brush. Just run the brush up and down the lamp shade and it will pick up all the dust on the shade. Here is a video from Partner BT Mouse.
