Do not clean skylight shades with methods that use abrasives, bleach, solvents, or heat. To care for skylight shades, Alluring Window recommends vacuuming them occasionally with a soft brush attachment. If your skylight shades become stained, you can brush them with a diluted, mild detergent. Be sure to rinse the fabric thoroughly and allow them to dry completely before raising them. Commercial spot cleaners may be used, but you should test them first in an unnoticeable spot, allowing them to dry entirely, to ensure the cleaner won’t affect the fabric.
