I usually wait until a hot sunny day. Dip them in sudsy water rinse and dry on a rack in the sun.
Lately I've used the new uv light gentle cleaner from QVC that vacuums and sanitizes. It did a beautiful and gentle cleaning on them and any delicate materials.

Thank you ALL for your comments and suggestions. My shades are sort of plastic and I have a similar one that's ready for the lampshade graveyard, so tomorrow I will try washing it per instructions. If that works out, I'll wash the others. If it fails, time to buy new!!!

Are they fabric or the plasticy ones?
If they are the plastic type put them in the shower.
@CelticCrafter I use paint brushes for lots of things!!!

I just take my lampshades outside and use canned air at an angle and it does a decent job. Quick and easy... 😊

Try the sink washing put outside hope it works usually does for me if not get a new shade but they are expensive sometimes just getting a new lamp with a shade is cheaper. I do the same thing in the sink with fake plants. Spray in sink if you have a sink sprayer. I don't soak the shade cuz afraid the glue seam will come apart just a quick wash. Good luck.

I've always used Swiffer dusters. For all my dusting actually - wouldn't use anything else.
Mine aren't the plastic type though but fabric - the pleats likely aren't as deep.

I too use a vaccuum wand on my Electrolux or even a lint brush for clothes.
