Keeping your window treatments looking clean and new
Blinds and shades typically do not require a lot of maintenance. They do require regular cleanings to keep that fresh new look in your home. Regular cleanings also help with preventing professional cleanings and repairs down the road. By using a feather duster or vacuum upholstery attachment, you can easily clean your window treatments with ease. Below you will find tips for care and cleaning of your blinds, shades and shutters.

Regular, light dusting maintains a like-new appearance of most blinds, shades, sheers, shutters and window panels.Do not use dusting mitts on light-dimming fabrics
Vacuuming
Vacuum gently using the brush attachment on any vacuum cleaner. Be sure to check out the product cleaning instructions to ensure no damage to fabrics.
Blowing
Use a can of compressed air to dust off selected window coverings.
