How to clean Lamp Shades


Lamp shades tend to get forgotten and certain cotton and fabric styles prove quite tricky to clean. Some lampshades, however, are simply cleaned with a vacuum attachment, but for more delicate materials, I advise a lint roller, which captures the dust quickly and easily, leaving your shades looking brand new again. Lint rollers work amazingly on fabric photo frames and cushions that harbour unwanted dust.

Keep your cloths clean
Cleaning cloths, dishcloths and tea towels harbour the most germs and bacteria so it is crucial to systematically clean your cloths and keep them germ-free. Change tea towels daily and allow washing up to air-dry whenever possible. Soak dirty dishcloths in undiluted vinegar each night to kill germs and bacteria then finish by rinsing in hot soapy water the following morning. Always wash cleaning cloths after every use to ensure they are free from dust, germs and bacteria; you will only reap great results from clean cloths.
