Window Treatment Care

Special Cleaning Instructions



Cellular Shades 
Regular Cleaning 
 Dust with a feather duster.   Lightly vacuum fabric with an upholstery attachment.  
Soil Removal 
 Sponge with a mild detergent and warm water solution and blot dry. To avoid permanent creasing, use extra care when cleaning blackout fabrics.   Do not use strong detergents or spot removers. Dry cleaning is not recommended.   When dusting, vacuuming, and spot cleaning aren't enough and deeper cleaning is desired, ultrasonic or injection/extraction cleaning with professional blind cleaner are an option. Professional blind cleaners use a variety of methods to clean blinds and vary in their capabilities. While Springs Window Fashions knows that many of our window treatments can be safely cleaned using the appropriate ultrasonic or injection/extraction cleaning methods we cannot guarantee the outcome of any cleaning services provided by an independent company.

Pleated Shades 
Regular Cleaning

Regular Cleaning 
 Remove the shade from its window; open it and lay out on a clean, flat surface.   To clean fingerprints or soiled spots, use an aerosol spray foam upholstery or fabric cleaner, such as Woolite® or ScotchGard® upholstery cleaners.   Spray the foam cleaner over the entire area to be cleaned. Immediately scrub the area with a clean, damp sponge (back and forth gently in the direction parallel to the pleats in the fabric) until stains are removed. Be careful not to crush or wrinkle the fabric.   Remove excess water from the fabric by patting with a clean, dry towel. Hang the shade when completely dry.   Frequent cleaning may tend to remove the fullness and body of the pleated fabric.   Do not use strong detergents or spot removers. Dry cleaning or ultrasonic cleaning are not recommended.
