Care and Maintenance
CARE:
Dusting:
Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning that is needed in most
circumstances.
Vacuuming:
Use the soft brush head of the vacuum cleaner on low setting for a more thorough
dust removal.
Spot Cleaning:
•
Prepare a solution of lukewarm water and mild detergent if needed.
•
Dampen a clean cloth or towel in the solution and wring thoroughly.
•
Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until spot is removed. Do not rub or soak the fabric.
•
Do not spot-clean anything other than the fabric covered headrail on horizontal shadings.
•
Allow the shade to dry in completely lowered position.
Spot-cleaning may result in cleaner areas.
Horizontal shadings are made of 100% polyester, which means they are inherently durable and
resilient. However, care must be taken to avoid wrinkling the fabric, particularly where the vanes
meet the facings.
Fabric Covered Headrail
- Spot-clean the headrail using a sponge or delicate cloth, cool distilled water and a mild soap
solution; handle with care as you would any fine fabric.
Forced Air
- Blow away dirt and debris between the vanes using clean compressed air.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Horizontal shadings can be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional, with the exception of the
of the Light Dimming fabrics.
Light Dimming fabrics.
- Specify that a mild detergent solution be used.
- Never immerse the headrail in the solution.
- Dry the shading completely in the lowered position.
Injection/Extraction
- Horizontal shadings can be professionally cleaned using the injection/extraction method.
- Use only the dry method of injection/extraction Light Dimming fabrics.
- Never immerse the headrail in the solution.
Electrostatic Cleaning
DO NOT use electrostatic cleaning wipes on any horizontal shadings.
