CLEANING AND CARE OF COLOR LUX® FABRICS

The soft delicate feel of Color Lux® Window Shadings belies the durability of the material. Our fabric is made from sturdy, knitted polyester fabric and may be feather dusted or vacuumed at a low suction setting. Spots or stains can be lightly rubbed clean with a damp sponge and mild soap.

Wood Blinds
How to Clean Wooden Blinds

Wood Blinds should be dusted regularly. Use an ordinary soft, clean cloth, chemically-treated dust cloth, dusting mitt, vacuum cleaner with brush attachment or cylindrical dust brushes especially designed for blinds. Lower the blind to its full length, then tilt the slats almost fully closed and dust. Then do the reverse side of the slats in the same manner. In order to reach the dust where the slats overlap, it is best not to fully close the blind in either position.
