Care and Cleaning

The soft, delicate feel of woven fabric with the durability of wood materials. It is made from a sturdy, woven fabric and wood slats which can be feather dusted or vacuumed on a low setting. Spots or stains can be lightly rubbed clean with a damp sponge and mild soap. To avoid discoloration of the material, we recommend against the use of chemical cleaners. The woven fabric may also be ultrasonically cleaned.

Remove The Shade

• Fully raise the shade.
• While holding the headrail, remove each wing nut from all screws on the brackets.
• If required, pull the micropleat opacity liner free from the mounting clips by releasing the latch.

Cleaning Procedures

For most fabrics, the following options are available if your shade needs cleaning.

• Dust Removal: In most cases, just use a feather duster to gently dust off regularly.
• Vacuuming: Use a low-suction hand-held vacuum cleaner to remove dust more thoroughly.
• Hair Dryer: Use a hair dryer to turn on the cold air to blow away the dirt and debris between the blades.
• Spot Cleaning:
  • Prepare a solution of warm water and a mild detergent.
  • Dampen a clean cloth in the solution and wring out.
  • Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until it is gone. Do not rub the fabric.
  • Allow the shade to dry in the completely lowered position.

NOTE: The Warning labels on the bottom-rails of corded window coverings contain important safety information. These warning labels are designed to be permanent, in accordance with the industry's safety standards, and must not be removed.
