Question for all you clever folks;
I posted this inquiry in another group and no-one answered. Perhaps someone here knows the answer if there is one.

Would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
PR

1. For delicates that can't bear soaking...

Make up a solution of Woolite and whip up plenty of light suds. Apply the suds only to the fabric with soft cloth, light circular motion. Use clean, damp absorbent cloth to remove suds and whatever dirt comes up.

Learned this in the 80s and it sounds like it would apply for your lamp shade fabric.

2. Sounds like it has a nice shape to it
So if you ruin the fabric you can always try your hand at recovering the frame.

I see that you did get some responses in the other thread. Good luck!

3. Steam?
That's probably what I'd try, but then, I ruin lots of things trying out my ideas, lol.
