How Can I Clean An Old Pleated Lampshade?

A relative left me some very old items, one of which is an old lamp and old pleated lampshade. Is there any way to clean this fragile beige lampshade? Thank you.

    If it's fragile any cleaning will probably cause it to crumble or crack. If it's just dusty

    try using a clean, dry paint brush to carefully brush down each pleat. The shade isn't as important as the lamp. Have it looked at to make sure the wiring is safe.
