How To Clean Fabric Lampshades | Clean With Confidence

[@windmill113]

Thank you so much for this video. I bought two beautiful lampshades about 10 years ago and over the years they became so dirty but I had no idea how to clean them. I saw saw this video and I must admit was very nervous to try this method but went ahead. I pretty much followed it as described but for Australian people I used Napisan Oxy Action and about a tablespoon of Morning Fresh dishwashing liquid in a bathtub because my lampshade are too large for a bucket. I socked them in warm water and used the same kind of brush as described to remove any stains to gently remove. I then rinsed clean and they came out absolutely beautiful. I could not believe the amazing results. Thank you so much xx

I just cleaned my large fabric lampshade today using your advice. It came out not quite perfect, but definitely better than expected, given my level of patience, and considering that the stains had been on that trash picked lampshade for awhile. I’m drying it out in my bathroom right now, using a dehumidifier and the bathroom fan. After that, it’ll be ready to donate to the Goodwill. I hate needless landfill. Thank you!

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Glad it’s working out for you!🙂

[@Beatlesfan1076]

You did all of that just to give it to Goodwill? Wow, that's super kind of you to do that! I'm not being sarcastic either, it's really kind. Not many people would go through that effort just to donate it. Kudos to you! 🙂

Awesome, I've always been stressed out over dirty lampshades, mine are just dusty, and I stay on top of using a blower or a handheld hose with the dusting tool, which does a good job. But I really like your way deep cleaning a fabric lamp shade

I have used warm water and the wire parts of the material rusted

[@Beatlesfan1076]

@@kaysorrell9655 I was wondering about that, with the rusting parts while letting it sit. I was thinking that maybe to dry the metal parts, and let the rest sit to dry? 🤷‍♀

I usually just spray mine with Krud Kutter, leave it to soak for 10 minutes then rinse off with a warm water spray, but I have to say that the oxclean idea is brilliant!

Thank you! We have the velcro white lampshades and hoping I can immerse them in gentle soapy water to clean, rinse and dry - and not compromise the nice crisp appearance. 💡

[@katieswanson1329]

I like the bucket to submerge the lamp shade in and can't be happier with the everyday (what I already had on hand) supplies. But I'm really commenting bc I stole an idea from another vid and thought I should share. I have a pleater fabric lampshade and found that a brand-new medium paint brush was perfect for my situation. Thnks again. I look forward to watching more of your vid tips. 🙃

Thank you for your suggestions on cleaning lampshades. How about silk pleated lampshade cleaning? Is it the same method?

[@CleanWithConfidence]

[@lorainerobbins2098]

Other vids say not to wet them. The inside of my shade looks like silk fabric, still ok to use the dip method? Shade fabric is beige color, has some stains. Lint roller worked for the dust though.

What if one side is fabric with thick plastic on the inside???? Will oxy clean work for that? Or will it mold in-between the fabric and plastic?

[@jacquelinecronin1249]

I've checked 2 other light mfg sites on how to clean fabric shades. They both said to never use water or detergent on them, let alone submerge them in water with Oxiclean. The nylon brush is to hard for fabric.

[@maryraab9066]

What about deep cleaning a lampshade made of a delicate fabric like silk that also has an interior lining?

I wouldn’t recommend it for silk, as water will leave spots, especially on raw silk.

I want to rinse them in water and napisan (stain remover powder) then rinse off. I’ll try it at some stage. Then let them air dry.
