Deep Cleaning
For deep cleaning, both injection/extraction and ultrasonic cleaning methods are recommended.
CautIon:
Do not dry clean Luminette
®
fabrics.
Injection/Extraction Method
Professional injection/extraction cleaning injects a heated cleaning solution into the fabric and
extracts the dirty solution in the same motion. This process is done in the home.
■
Vacuum the fabric following the instructions under “Routine Cleaning” on the previous page,
prior to the injection/extraction cleaning.
■
Have your professional set and maintain their cleaning solution just below steaming.
■
Make sure stains are pre-treated to maximize the benefits of cleaning.
■
When cleaning the vanes from the back, use a 3" upholstery tool and start at the center of
the fabric. Clean one vane at a time from top to bottom working out toward the edge of the
fabric. Repeat for the other half of the fabric.
Important:
Both sides of each Luminette room-darkening vane need to be cleaned. This
is not necessary on Luminette translucent vanes.
■
When cleaning the face fabric from the front, close the vanes to the right and use a 4"
upholstery tool. Start in the upper left corner and use short, horizontal strokes (about the
width of three vanes) to move across the fabric. Clean from the top to the bottom.
■
Allow the fabric to dry in the fully traversed position with the vanes opened.
■
Steam out any wrinkles.
Ultrasonic Method
CautIon:
Do not use ultrasonic cleaning methods on Modern Draperies fabrics.
Professional ultrasonic cleaning is a process in which the fabric is inserted into a tank of
cleaning solution and then subjected to high frequency vibrations. Dirt is loosened from the
fabric and carried away in the cleaning solution. This process is done outside the home.
■
Ensure the supplier’s ultrasonic tank is long enough to accommodate the full length of the
fabric without folding the fabric or vanes.
■
Ensure the fabric is rolled onto a tube when being transported to and from the home. This
reduces the chance of wrinkling and damage.
■
Specify water that does not exceed 90º F throughout the process.
CautIon:
If water temperatures exceed 90º F, oxidation may damage the Luminette
room-darkening vanes.
