Shade Spring Cleaning Tips near Fort Gratiot, MI
As much as we wish our shades would look as spiffy and new as the day we brought them home, whether you have little kids running around, pets scurrying about, or you are simply living a full life in your home, dirt, debris, and a few spills are guaranteed to happen on our window treatments.
Does this mean we must toss out the entire window treatment and start all over again? Of course not. However, cleaning your shades can sometimes feel a little daunting. After all, window treatments vary from sturdy to incredibly delicate, and no matter what they’re made of, you want them to retain their shape. That is why we are here to give some of our shade-cleaning tips.
These tips will vary depending on what type of window treatment you have, but all these tips should help you keep your shades looking nice and new with occasional maintenance. Read on to learn more.
Cleaning Cellular Shades
Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades are known for their hidden layer of honeycomb-shaped cells that traps air at your windows for ultimate insulation and energy efficiency. They are also known for being somewhat delicate, thanks to their intricate shape! When it comes to cleaning cellular shades, you want to be gentle so they don’t lose their shape and reduce their efficacy. For routine cleaning, we recommend using a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner to clean away dirt, debris, and allergens gently. For stains, use a damp cloth and gently blot. Be sure not to rub, as this can damage some fabrics.
Cleaning Solar Shades
Known for providing UV protection and ample light control, Hunter Douglas solar shades are one of the more durable shades out there. This means you don’t have to be as cautious when cleaning them. Our shade cleaning tips for solar shades include using a feather duster or vacuum brush attachment to rid your window treatment of dirt and debris. If your solar shades become stained, use a mild detergent or soap and water on a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and air dry for the best results.
Cleaning Fabric Shades
When it comes to shaping tips for fabric shades, the specific details will vary, depending on what type of fabric shade you have. This includes Roman shades, roller shades, or drapery. However, daily maintenance of the shades follows a relatively similar pattern. If you want to get rid of dust, debris, or allergens on your fabric shades, we recommend spot cleaning with mild soap, using a duster, or using a vacuum with a brush attachment for deeper cleaning. If you have questions or need specific shade cleaning tips for the particular fabric shades in your home, our friendly team of experts is here to help.
Cleaning Hunter Douglas Blinds and Shutters
Hunter Douglas blinds and shutters are a popular choice for window coverings, and like any other window treatment, they require regular cleaning to maintain their appearance and function. Here are some tips for cleaning Hunter Douglas blinds:
- Dusting: Use a soft, clean cloth to remove dust and dirt from the slats.
- Spot cleaning: For small stains or spots, use a damp microfiber cloth to clean the affected area gently. Be careful not to saturate the blinds or shutters with water, as this can damage the material - especially hardwood - and cause warping.
