• Spot-Cleaning:
Spot-clean shades and blinds using a soft cloth or a moistened sponge
with lukewarm water. Add mild detergent, if needed. Blot gently to
avoid creasing. In a dusty environment, the blinds may need to be
cleaned regularly using a sponge or dampened soft cloth. Use warm
(not hot) water and a mild detergent. The mild detergent cannot
contain abrasives. Rinse the blinds using a clean cloth and water to
prevent water spots. Place a towel directly under the blinds to absorb
any water that might drip down.
• Ultrasonic cleaning:
Professional ultrasonic cleaning may be prefered.
• Tub cleaning:
1. Immerse entire shade assembly in lukewarm water with mild
detergent. Wash for several minutes by gently moving liquid
around with your fingers.
2. Rinse with clear water.
3. Close shade before removing from rinse water.
4. Hold rails and tilt the shade to allow excess water to drain off.
5. Re-install damp shade into window opening. Place a towel directly
under the blinds to absorb any water that might drip down.
6. Lower shade all the way to allow it to dry completely.
The day/night shades are made of polyester blended material. Use the following
guidelines to care and maintain the day/night shades:
• Leave Day-Night shades in the UP position when not in use to help
the shades hold their shape.
• String tension for the shades should be equal. The tension can be
adjusted if the shades will not remain up.
Dusting:
Vacuum with a brush attachment, or use a dusting tool, on a regular basis.
Cleaning:
A dry foam cleaner may be used for soil and dirt removal. Follow all
directions on the container or a cleaning solution of ¼ ounce clear liquid soap to
8 ounces water.
NOTE: Do not use colored liquid soap as a stain may appear when
fabric dries.
