My nana was so smart! Trying this tonight!

Use Microfiber Cloths: If you don’t have a lint roller, a clean microfiber cloth will also do the trick. Microfiber is excellent at picking up dust and debris without scratching or damaging surfaces. Simply wipe the lampshade gently with the cloth in a downward motion.

Regular Maintenance: To keep your lampshades looking fresh, make it a habit to clean them regularly. A quick once-over with a lint roller every couple of weeks can prevent dust from building up.

Be Gentle with Delicate Fabrics: If your lampshade is made from a particularly delicate fabric like silk, be extra cautious. Consider using a softer adhesive lint roller or a microfiber cloth to avoid any risk of tearing or fraying.

Dealing with Stains: For fabric lampshades with stains, a slightly damp sponge with a little mild soap can help. Dab (don’t rub) the stain gently, then blot with a clean cloth to dry. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure the soap doesn’t damage or discolor the fabric.

Thanks to my nana, I’ve discovered that keeping lampshades clean doesn’t have to be a chore. With a simple lint roller and less than two minutes of your time, you can keep your lampshades looking fresh and new, adding a brighter, cleaner feel to your space. So the next time you notice a dusty lampshade, don’t stress—grab your lint roller and put this easy trick to the test!
