Tips to clean your blinds and shades

Cleaning blinds and shades properly helps them last longer, look better, and function smoothly. The best method depends on the type of material — but here’s a complete guide you can follow:

🧼 General Cleaning Tips (for All Types)

  • Dust regularly: Use a microfiber cloth, vacuum with a brush attachment, or a duster to prevent buildup.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals: Stick to mild detergent and water; strong cleaners can damage the finish or fabric.

  • Test a small area first: Especially for fabric shades — make sure cleaning doesn’t discolor or warp the material.

  • Dry completely: Moisture can lead to mildew or warping, so always let blinds or shades air-dry fully before rolling them up.

🌿 Extra Tips

  • Clean monthly for dusting, and do a deep clean every 6–12 months.

  • If you have cordless or motorized shades, make sure no water enters the operating mechanism.

  • Always retract shades fully when not in use to prevent dust buildup.
