Cleaning glass shades on a light fixture

My dining room light fixture has glass shades. Previous lights had screws to undo to remove shades and wash in sink. These shades are not removable. How do I clean them without electrocuting myself?

Could it be that the bulbs are holding the shades on? I'd try taking a bulb out to see. They went on somehow, there should be a way to remove them.
I clean mine in place, I do it on a sunny day, shut the light off, then clean with a damp microfiber cloth. Or use windex on the cloth and clean.
I doubt that the shades can't be removed. I would just use a warm damp soft cloth to clean the shades and bulbs, but check further to learn if the shades are indeed permanent...seems unlikely.
Turn off the electricity power for the time you are cleaning! Otherwise use a Wet Wipe on them inside with the switch off! Wipe dry with a dry cloth. or Kitchen roll
