Gather all of your glass table lamps, place them all on your kitchen table, and then follow these simple guidelines to clean them:
If you've ceiling or wall light fixtures, carefully remove the shades and wash them in a sink or tub of hot water and detergent. Rinse them and allow to air dry. Use a soft cloth and soapy water to wash the light fixtures attached to the wall or ceiling, taking great care not to let water run into the light socket. Allow the shades to air dry, and then reassemble the lamp. Polish metal parts of glass light fixtures with metal polish or wax once they dry.
