Silk lampshades -- how do you clean them?

Posted by Sarah T. on January 22, 2006, at 3:42:27

Does anyone know how to clean a silk lampshade? I just looked at a few Internet sites on this topic. Several said it was OK to dunk the lampshade in a tub of warm, soapy water. Other sites advised against any treatment except the dry cleaners. Does anyone have any experience with this?
