Using your Dawson Lamp is easy. Just find a suitable spot in your room, plug it in, and turn it on to enjoy its warm glow. When moving the lamp, be careful not to knock it over as the porcelain part can break easily. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the lamp body to keep its antique bronze finish looking great. As for the linen shade, if it gets dirty, you can use a gentle vacuum cleaner on a low - suction setting to remove dust. Avoid using any harsh chemicals on either the lamp or the shade as they may damage the materials.
