 How to Cleaning Hunter Douglas window coverings?


 Cleaning Wood Blinds

Because wooden blinds are made from real wood, special attention is needed when cleaning them. Do NOT clean your wooden blinds with water. Although the wood is sealed, water or even excessive dampness may cause discoloration of the slats. Since the surface of the slats is smooth, dust may be easily brushed off at regular intervals using a clean soft dust cloth or a vacuum cleaner brush attachment. Clean them as described above.

Cleaning Fabric Blinds


Cleaning Blackout Fabric:
Regular cleaning of fabric blinds is a must since they attract more dust. Most of the cellular shades, like the Hunter Douglas Duette shade, are anti-static, and they require very little cleaning. A light sweep with your vacuum cleaner brush attachment is all that is needed to keep them dust free. For a more thorough cleaning, the entire shade assembly may be gently wiped with a soft damp cloth using lukewarm (not hot) water. Take special care when handling opaque (blackout) shades to avoid creasing, and do not immerse them in water. For tough stains, spot clean with a mild detergent. Some shades, like the Graber Crystal Pleat have a "soft hand" fabric. Be very careful when trying to clean these types of shades.

Cleaning Light Filtering fabrics:
Our light filtering fabrics are inherently antistatic and repel dust, but occasional cleaning may be necessary to keep the fabrics clean and bright. The fabric can be dusted with a soft, clean cloth, feather duster or lightly vacuumed with a soft brush attachment. Spills and stains can be lightly blotted with a cloth or damp sponge. More difficult stains may require soaking in water with mild soap. For this, remove the shades from the window and soak in warm water. DO NOT submerge the Cordless head rail in water. When damp, lay flat to dry or place back in window and raise tightly to recrisp pleats. Please test any stronger cleaners on an unobtrusive portion of the shade before using.

NOTE: DO NOT SUBMERGE THE CORDLESS

Cleaning and Care on day/night RV Shade

RV Shades should be kept In the closed or the up position when not in use, to maintain pleat retention and minimize dirt and soil buildup. Do not store shade in the down position, this may cause some loss of a pleat retention if RV shade are not operate on a consistent basis.
Note: if your recreation vehicle must be in storage for an extended period time. Store RV shade in the up position and cover your window with an additional protection (example cut out cardboard).
RV Shade can be easily cared for by simply dusting or using a vacuum cleaner attachment. Do not use spot remover, or household cleaner or detergent to remove soiled spot, or as this may cause damage to fabric.

All blinds are washed by hand

Our hand-cleaning method is the most thorough, time-tested, non-damaging way to keep your window coverings looking their best. We use a custom combination of detergents and solvents for each type of window covering, soft, non-abrasive natural and synthetic brushes, and pure, additive-free rinse water

Wood Blind Cleaning

We clean all wood blinds by hand. We have two methods of cleaning wood blinds. The first method is to leave the wood blinds completely assembled. We clean every slat, top and bottom, every headrail, and wipe down all cords and ladders. This is done with a mild solution made just for cleaning wood. The second method is to completely dismantle the blind, clean and oil every slat, thoroughly clean the headrails and cords and put it all back together again.


Maintaining clean window blinds is what we always want to achieve. Cleaning window blinds on the other hand may not be a very inviting task since it is time consuming and may require us to do some cleaning procedures that we do not normally do. The fact is, most of us do not clean our window blinds, until the dusts are so obvious that they overtake our windows. When this happens, we have no choice but to do the labor. A large percentage of allergies are directly related to indoor dust. We will clean your blinds to a “like new” condition with the most effective cleaning techniques available today! Our hand cleaning method has proven to be the most thorough and the most damage free way of keeping window coverings looking their best. We use custom combinations of detergent and solvents for each type of window covering. We also use soft non-abrasive natural & synthetic brushes with pure, additive free rinse water.

 All blinds clean at customers' own risk, not responsible for any damage that
may occur during the cleaning process water spots, color fading..

After long exposure to the sun window covering material can become tender and cords wear out. These are considered normal wear and tear and are not covered by manufacturers' warranties. Sometimes window coverings are damaged in transit or handling - this is also considered normal wear and tear. Cleaning blinds with household cleaners, (409, Soft Scrub, Windex, Pledge, Spic-N-Span, etc.) causes damage to the paint and the finish of your blinds. These household cleansers react with direct & indirect sunlight to oxidize, dull and ruin the paint on your blinds. We can't be held responsible for blinds that were previously cleaned in this manner. A feather duster used between cleanings is highly recommended to extend the life of your blinds!
