I have white lampshades that turned brown from smoking in the house. Can they be made white again & how to do it?

No. Buy new ones, and quit smoking.
Depend on whether the shade is glued or sewn together. Most are glued, and will fall apart if submerged. If they are sewn, use a bucket wide enough to fit the widest part of the shade, and tall enough to hold
1/2 the shade. Fill with water, detergent and a little bleach. Submerge and spin for a few minutes. Turn shade over and repeat. Rinse in the shower.Join the Discussion
