We all know that lampshades are magnets for dust and dirt. Over time, they can look dull and grimy, making your room feel less fresh and inviting. Many people dread cleaning lampshades because they seem delicate, and scrubbing them clean sounds like a tedious task.
But what if I told you there’s a super simple trick to clean those dusty lampshades in just two minutes with almost zero effort? It’s a trick my nana taught me, and I’ve been using it ever since. Here’s how it works.
Why Lampshades Get So Dusty
Before we dive into the trick, it’s helpful to understand why lampshades get so dusty in the first place. Lampshades, especially fabric ones, have a texture that easily traps dust. As they’re often placed in areas with lots of airflow, like living rooms or bedrooms, they collect airborne dust particles quickly. Dust can dull the color of the lampshade and even cause unpleasant odors over time. Regular cleaning helps maintain the brightness and look of your lampshade, and my nana’s method makes it a breeze.
