Special Cleaning Instructions:
|
- Cellular and Pleated Shades: Using an aerosol spray foam upholstery or fabric cleaner, such at Woolite® or ScotchGard® Upholstery cleaners, spray the entire area to be cleaned. Immediately wipe the area with a clean, damp sponge (back and forth gently in the direction parallel to the pleats in the fabric) until the stains are removed. If necessary, the entire shade may be cleaned in this fashion. Pat with a clean, dry towel to remove excess water. Be careful not to crush or wrinkle the fabric. Frequent cleaning may tend to remove fullness and body of the pleated fabric. Make sure shade is fully open and allow to air dry.
- Wood Blinds:
- Painted Finish: Clean with a soft, damp cloth.
- Stained Finish: Treat with a lemon oil or other wood preservative.
- Vertical Blinds:
- Vinyl Vertical Blinds (Vanes Only): Vanes may be removed and immersed in water. If a thin film of mild detergent is left on the vanes, it will eliminate static electricity.
- Sheer Enchantment™ Soft Vertical Blinds: Sheer Enchantment fabrics are steam pressed in the manufacturing process, but may need to be re-steamed or ironed at a low temperature before hanging. Do not steam or iron fabric while it is on the vanes as they will be damaged. Do not put fabric in the dryer.
Machine Washable Fabric! It's easy to wash the fabric - and there's no need to take down the entire blind to do so!
- Unsnap the fabric from the vanes and place in wash.
- Use the gentle cycle, warm water and Woolite® Fine Fabric Wash or other mild laundry detergent - do not use chlorine bleach.
- Line dry fabric - do not put fabric in dryer!
- If necessary, steam or iron at a low temperature before putting fabric back on vane.
- Snap fabric back onto the vinyl vanes.
