Well cared for, quality blinds last for years. Here is a practical guide to keeping yours spotless, based on their material.
Regular dusting
The golden rule: dust weekly with a feather duster, a soft brush or the vacuum’s brush attachment on low power. This prevents the build-up that becomes hard to remove over time.
Fabric blinds
For light stains, dab gently with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, without rubbing. Avoid soaking the fabric. Cellular shades clean well with compressed air to clear dust from the cells.
Wood and faux-wood blinds
Faux wood tolerates a damp cloth; real wood prefers a dry or barely damp cloth to avoid warping. An oil-based cleaner can revive the finish of genuine wood.
Mechanisms
Operate mechanisms gently and avoid forcing them. If a motorized or manual blind shows signs of wear, our repair service can give it a second life rather than replacing it.
