I've tried to use the vacuum with a brush attachment but it was too bulky to use.

Use a damp cloth with vinegar solutio. It works great.
Take the shades off and spray with canned air or use an air compressor if you have one.
How about those sticky lint rollers.
Check Amazon for a lampshade brush.
My mom had a really soft bristle brush for her lampshades. It always worked for her.
I wash fabric lamp shades in the kitchen sink and hang them on the clothes line to dry. For glass, I also wash them in the kitchen sink and dry and put back on. For metal, I wipe them off with a damp cloth. For paper I dust them.
just use fabric softener sheets. Works every time.
HI,
If just dust, Swat them with a dry cloth. If grubby, try a wet wipe all over the shade (go in the direction of the grain in fabric).
