I shower mine and blow dry on low so that the shade spokes dry immediately and I let the rest dry naturally If it is a bit dirtier I scrub with a little dawn or laundry detergent with a soft bristle brush, then shower off It has not shrunk any of my shades and been doing this for years just use warm water.
I put mine in the bathtub soak it good with the hand shower, spray it with Fantastic, sponge it a bit in dirty spots , then shower it clean and clear. Now set it on a towel until it stops dripping and blow dry it on high so it won`t get water stains. Works every time for me ;-)
Some lampshades cannot tolerate any water or steaming. It can leave cracks, rust from the frame, and bubbles...speaking from experience.
I actually remember my Mother using a slice of white bread, when I was a kid. It removed the dust and light stains, and she was a smoker. She just rubbed it over the surface, and then used the vacuum cleaner's upholstery tool afterwards.
Every time I clean my mirrors, they end up having tons of streaks and almost look worse than before I started. What could I use to clean them that won't leave streaks...

If it's just dusty, you can use an attachment from a vacuum cleaner, or dirt buster, etc. Also, maybe spot clean with scotch tape, light brushes.
