Spring Cleaning: How to Clean Your Window Treatments

Hunter Douglas window treatments are easy to clean and maintain. Many of the fabrics and finishes include a protective layer that repels dust, so you only need to brush them off from time to time. However, it's still a good idea to give your window treatments a nice, thorough cleaning every spring so you can see through them and freshen up your home.

At Blind King near Providence, Rhode Island, we can help you customize Hunter Douglas blinds, shades, and shutters and learn how to clean them.

Best Way to Clean Blinds

Start by lowering your blinds and tilting the slats down without shutting them completely. For your wood and faux wood blinds, use a soft, clean rag, dusting mitt, or dust cloth to gently dust them. You can also use a vacuum cleaner with its brush attachment.

Best Way to Clean Your Vertical Blinds

The best way to clean your vertical blinds is by dusting them. If you have light-dimming fabrics, avoid using a dusting mitt on your vertical blinds since it may damage the window treatment’s backing. You can also dust gently with a vacuum cleaner’s brush attachment.

Cleaning Your Mini Blinds

The best way to clean mini blinds made from aluminum is to gently dust them using a dust cloth, dusting mitt, clean cloth, or vacuum cleaner attachment. You can also use an over-the-counter blinds cleaner on a clean cloth. You can also clean them in the bathtub with mild detergent in lukewarm water and swirl the water around. However, this is not an option for the Natural Elements Collection.

When you use cleaner for your windows, spray it onto the cleaning cloth instead of the window because the backsplash could damage the blinds.

How to Clean Roller Shades and More

Clean roller and Roman shades by brushing them with a soft cloth, dusting cloth, or vacuum cleaner attachment. Dip a sponge in lukewarm water and mild detergent to blot any spots. Rubbing the shade can damage the fabric.

Cleaning cellular shades requires an additional step because of the fabric’s layers. Compressed air and blow dryers enable you to remove the dirt, lint, dead bugs, and other debris from between the layers easily.

How to Clean Shutters

Here are a few helpful steps to clean your Hunter Douglas shutters:

  1. Dust them with a feather duster or compressed air.
  2. Try your vacuum cleaner’s brush attachment for a deeper clean.
  3. Spot-clean wood shutters with a soft sponge in lukewarm water.
  4. Repel dust and reduce static cling on faux wood and vinyl shutters by running dryer sheets across them.
