Cleaning your Honeycomb Blinds
To lightly clean your blinds, simply dust with a feather duster or the brush nozzle of your vacuum cleaner.
More persistent marks can be removed with a sponge using warm water and a mild detergent. Once cleaned, reform any
pleats pushed out of place by hand. If the fabric is damp, retract the blind loosely whilst it dries to maintain the pleat
memory. Do not compact tightly as this will impede the fabric drying.
General Maintenance Of Your Blinds
In a normal household environment, your blinds will need little little maintenance. All components should operate smoothly
under normal use.
Should pulleys or motor brackets develop a squeak in operation, lubricate with a silicon based spray. Do not
use an oil based lubricant (such as WD40) as the oil may mark the fabric or cause dirt to a dhere to cords and fabric.
Honeycomb window blinds should be retracted on a weekly basis for a period of time to retain the pleat memory. Failure to do
this may result in the pleats flattening due to gravity. Should this happen, slowly retract the blind and manually reform the
pleats. With the pleats reformed, leave the blind retracted for 24 hours.
Blinds in areas of consistently high levels of humidity or damp conditions will be susceptible to mould marks forming due to the
high levels of moisture present facilitating its growth. Blinds at windows prone to consistent condensation are particularly
susceptible to mould growth. Such windows should be ventilated to clear condensation and minimise the opportunity for
mould growth.
Although all our fabrics have a very high resistance to colour fade, bright sunshine will inevitably cause some fading over time.
