Cleaning recommendations for draperies and curtains. Refer to the care instructions for curtains, which are printed on the label. Some traditional and lined curtains require dry cleaning by a professional service. If the label reads "Dry Clean Only," do not wash the curtains and drapes in the washing machine. Otherwise, you may damage the fabric.
Use the brush attachment to vacuum the fabric of the drapes gently, but with minimal suction force. If you are working with a delicate or thin fabric, do not press the brush against the fabric; instead, keep the vacuum cleaner 1-2 inches away to prevent damage. Dust tends to accumulate more on the bottom half of the curtains, so pay special attention to this area.
If possible, curtains and drapes should be washed in the washing machine. Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent, and if possible, remove curtain linings.
Curtains and drapes should be washed by hand if they do not fit in a washing machine or cannot be washed in a machine for another reason. For this procedure, a bath filled with cold water and mild detergent is ideal. Hand-wash the drapes with care and rinse them with cool water.
Before placing drapes or curtains in the dryer, check the label for specific care instructions. Many unlined curtains can be dried in a cold-setting or low-heat electric dryer. To avoid having to iron the curtains, take them out of the dryer when they are just a little bit damp. Hang down the curtains to dry. If curtains cannot be dried in a dryer, allow them to air-dry.
Eliminate dust from the blinds. Close the blinds, beginning at the top, and vacuum them with the brush attachment. You can also use a duster or a soft cloth to remove dust. Close the blinds in the opposite direction and repeat on the opposite side of the panels.
Use an all-purpose cleaner. The cleaner is sprayed onto a clean cloth or sponge. Clean each louver panel separately. You can take the blinds outside and use a garden hose with a pre-installed sprayer to moisten them. Wipe the louver panels with a towel and all-purpose cleaner once more.
The tub should be filled with cold water and mild eco-detergent. Put the blinds in the bathtub and let them soak for a while, then use a sponge to clean them. Rinse with cold water.
Wooden blinds must be cleaned with a product specially formulated for wood care. Apply wood cleaner to a clean cloth and wipe each slat separately. Do not allow the blinds' wooden panels to become saturated with water; otherwise, the wood may become deformed.
Stain removal from woven blinds. The fabric of the blinds can be cleaned with a damp sponge and dishwashing detergent.
Always follow the manufacturer's cleaning, maintenance, and care instructions for curtains, blinds, and shades. Look for care instructions on labels.
When cleaning wood blinds, avoid using products containing water. Water penetrates the wood, causing its deformation and discoloration. Utilize products designed specifically for wood.
We recommend using a professional dry cleaner for a thorough cleaning of your woven blinds, as household detergents can damage them.
