Removing the Blind (If Necessary)
■
Fully raise the blind.
■
To remove the valance gently pull the valance up and towards you.
■
Push up on the bottom end of the bracket to release the locking tab.
■
Grab underneath the headrail using both hands and carefully pull the blind out of the end brackets.
Cleaning Procedures
Like any fine furnishings, Kirsch
®
Wood Blinds Collection should be cleaned regularly to keep them looking new.
Dusting
■
Dust regularly. Use a soft clean cloth, chemically-treated dust cloth, or dusting mitt. Lower the blind until it is full length, tilt
the slats almost all the way down, and dust. Then tilt the slats almost all the way up and dust. (Not closing the slats all the way
allows dusting where the slats overlap.)
■
Blinds may also be vacuumed. Use the brush attachment and tilt the slats up and down as described for dusting.
■
Another way to clean blinds is simply by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth.
Wood Blinds
■
Stained blinds, like wood furniture, should be treated periodically with lemon oil or other wood preservative to protect their
finish and enhance their luster.
IMPORTANT:
Kirsch does not recommend ultrasonic cleaning of wood blinds.
