How to clean lamps with transparent shades?
Lamps with transparent shades will lose their luster if you do not take proper care of them. Both the lampshade itself and the bulb require regular cleaning, which will not only allow you to enjoy the beauty of your chosen lamp and a consistent level of light intensity, but also prevent the formation of stubborn dirt that can be difficult to remove over time.
Vacuum the lampshade once a week with a dust broom or microfiber cloth, and every so often remove the lampshade for a thorough cleaning, for which use slightly warm water, mild detergent, a microfiber cloth and a soft dry towel. To avoid leaving fingerprints on the surface of the lampshade, wear cotton gloves.
