Hello,
Use a Wet wipe and go with the grain of the fabric and don't press hard. Wet evenly over the whole shade.

Hello. It may depend on your specific type of lampshade.
Sometimes they can be more fragile than you might expect.
Thin fabric shades can be torn using your vacuum attachment, at least it has once for me.
The vacuum and hairy attachment or soft lambs wool-swiffer sweeper might be used in the sturdy type of lampshade otherwise I would consider using something like a blow dryer to blow the dust off and then vacuum or dust the surface below away.
I'd use a handheld steamer.

Brush vacuum attachment should work or in a pinch I've used a fine household sponge.
