Cleaning Procedures
The fabric, header, and vane fabric are 100% polyester. They are resilient, anti-static, and dust
resistant. Periodic cleaning is recommended to help keep Luminette
®
Privacy Sheers looking
like new. For all cleaning applications, fabrics should remain hanging to minimize handling,
wrinkling, or puckering.
IMPORTANT: Disposable gloves should be worn when handling fabrics.
CAUTION: Keep all cleaning solutions away from the SofTrak
™
headrail system. Never immerse
the headrail.
Routine Cleaning
■ Use a feather duster for regular light dusting.
■ For more thorough dust removal, a hand-held vacuum with low suction may be used. When
vacuuming, avoid pulling or stretching the fabric.
➤ Start in the upper left corner and work across the fabric using short horizontal strokes
while steadying the fabric with your free hand. Each stroke should be approximately
the width of two to three vanes. Do not use long horizontal or vertical strokes, as these
actions will crease the fabric. Continue to the bottom of the fabric.
CAUTION: Do not use a brush attachment or rigorous vacuuming since either could distort
the fabric.
Electrostatic Cleaning
CAUTION: Do not use electrostatic cleaning devices on any Luminette product.
Spot-Cleaning
To reduce the potential for permanent staining, spots should be treated and cleaned as soon as
possible with a clothing stain pre-treatment solution.
■ Apply the pre-treatment solution to a clean, white cloth.
■ Support the fabric from behind using another clean, dry cloth.
Clean the spot using a gentle
blotting action. Avoid rubbing the fabric since any abrasive action may cause it to distort.
■ Let the area air dry.
■ After the area is dry, remove excess solution by blotting it with distilled or bottled water
applied to another clean cloth.
Deep Cleaning
For deep cleaning, both injection/extraction and ultrasonic cleaning methods are recommended.
CAUTION: Do not dry clean Luminette fabrics.
