Cleaning Procedures
Sonnette
®
Cellular Roller Shades are made from anti-static, dust-resistant materials which
repel dirt and dust. The following options are available if your shade needs cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not steam the shades.
Dusting
■
Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning needed in most
circumstances.
Vacuuming
■
Use a hand-held vacuum with low suction for more thorough dust removal.
Compressed Air
■
Use compressed air to blow dust and dirt off shades.
Spot-Cleaning
CAUTION: Do not use spot clean treatment on Highline
™
, Textura
™
, or Elan
®
Metallic fabrics.
■
Prepare a solution of warm water and a mild detergent.
■
Dampen a clean cloth in the solution and wring it out.
■
Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until it is removed. Do not rub the fabric.
■
Allow the shade to dry in the completely lowered position.
Bathtub Cleaning/Water Immersion
CAUTION: Do not immerse the hardware, Elan Metallic, or room-darkening fabrics.
■
Immerse the shade in a basin or bathtub filled with warm water and a mild detergent.
IMPORTANT: Never immerse the headrail into the solution.
■
Rinse with clean water.
■
Before removing from the rinse water, fully raise the shade and tilt it to allow excess
water to drain off.
■
Allow the shade to dry in the completely lowered position.
Injection/Extraction Cleaning
CAUTION: Do not use injection/extraction cleaning on Elan Metallic fabric.
This type of professional cleaning injects a cleaning solution into the fabric and extracts the
dirty solution in the same motion.

Fabrics
As with all textiles, Sonnette fabric is subject to some variation. Slight wrinkling, puckering,
or bowing is inherent to this textile product and should be considered normal, acceptable
quality. These characteristics are not usually visible from the front or rear but may be visible
from a side angle.
