Window Blinds & Shades Maintenance

To help prolong the age and beauty of your new Window Fashions, follow our recommendations for their care and maintenance:

NOTE: Refer to your manufacturer's care and cleaning guide to determine the best method for your type of window treatment.

Blinds

Dust with a feather duster or a soft, clean cloth on a regular basis.
Blinds may also be cleaned using a low suction, hand-held vacuum with a brush attachment.
Stained wood blinds should be treated periodically with lemon oil or other wood preservative to protect their finish.
Do not use water to clean wood blinds; painted or stained, the water could damage their surface appearance.

Shades

Dust with a feather duster or a soft, clean cloth on a regular basis.
Most shades can be spot cleaned with a soft cloth or sponge moistened, not saturated, with lukewarm water. A mild detergent can be used if needed. Refer to your manufacturer's care and cleaning guide to determine the best method for your type of window treatment.
IMPORTANT: Do not use magnetic cleaners, such as a dusting mitt, on any room-darkening fabric. It may damage the backing of the fabric. Do not use ammonia cleaners on or near any fabric.

Shutters

Most shutters can be spot cleaned with a soft cloth or sponge moistened, not saturated, with lukewarm water. A mild detergent can be used if needed. Refer to your manufacturer's care and cleaning guide to determine the best method for your type of window treatment.
