FAQs
How often should I clean my shades?
You should be dusting the surface of your shades weekly to avoid a build-up of dust. The materials can be spot-treated as needed.
How do I get stains out of my shades?
The best way to make sure you don’t damage your shades while cleaning them is to double check the specific cleaning tips for the material you have. Vinyl finishes and delicate sheer fabrics will not offer the same instructions. To be safe, read up on cleaning tips for your shades first. In most cases, spot-treating them with a gentle cleaner will work.
Can I rub out tough stains?
No matter what material your shades are, you should never rub your stains out. This can damage the material. Instead, if your material can be spot-treated with detergent, use a gentle cloth and gently dab until the stain begins to fade. This may take more time but it will prevent unnecessary damage to your window shades.
