I just bought a very wonderful 1950s ceiling lamp. The glass shades are made of 2 layers of glass, one white one frosted. On the outside of the glass, there are yellow stains. I have tried cleaning them with baking soda but it hasnt worked. Any other suggestions?

    A soak in warm / hand hot water and bio washing powder maybe?

    How about Stardrops? If nothing else, it will make them shine!

    And PLEASE be very careful - I broke one of our glass wall-light shadde the other day whilst giving it a gentle post-decorating bath in Stardrops solution :o
