Many of my projects are liner only repairs and I always clean the shades with a lint roller. I never use a liquid cleaner as I cannot repair liquid damaged fabric.
Dusty Old Lampshade
I am restoring the cover and liner on this 23 year old silk lampshade and I wanted to show you the amazing job of a lint roller. I had already removed the cover before I took the picture, so I secured the cover back in place so you could see the difference.
Lampshade Cleaned with Lint Roller
When using a lint roller on an old fabric shade, be gentle. The lint roller will pull the outer layer fibers of an old brittle fabric shade.
The shade had been in a smoke environment and nothing, that I know of, can be done about the yellowing.
I think this is among the most significant information for me. And i am glad reading your article. But want to remark on some general things, The website style is ideal, the articles is really excellent : D. Good job, cheers
