Quick Cleaning Tip: Lamp Shades

If you have smooth, unpleated lamp shades in your house and are averse to cleaning them (like me), you might find this tip helpful.

Take a rolling lint removal wand (the kind with the sticky paper), and roll it up and down your lamp shade.  It will trap all the dust and remove it with absolute ease!  Yes, it is slightly wasteful as you'll have to throw away the paper, but it works really well in a pinch.  And if you have kids, you can do it while they are still sleeping as it's quiet as can be.

This tip was given to me by my mother, the source of all my wisdom.  Love you, Mom!

You can also try to squeeze some lemon juice in a cup of water then use a damp cloth to remove stains.
