Window Coverings - Maintenance

Hunter Douglas Style: Applause honeycomb shades

Maintenance

• Water, solvents or abrasive cleaners should not be used on wood blinds or shutters.


• The best way to remove dust or debris from hard to reach areas on honeycomb, window shades and shadings is by using a hair dryer on a cool setting or compressed air purchased from an office supply store.


• Bathtub cleaning or water immersion, ultrasonic cleaning, injection or extraction cleaning and steam cleaning are all specialized professional cleaning treatments.  Power washing is not.


• Many aluminum and vertical vinyl blinds are specially treated to guard against static electricity and dust. If not, the slats can be wiped with anti-static dryer sheets.


• It is best to clean alternative wood blinds and shutters with a soft damp cloth.
