Since your custom wood blinds are made
from real wood, care must be taken in cleaning. Washing the blind
with water is NOT
RECEMMENDED. Although the wood
is sealed with a clear finish, water or excessive dampness may
cause war page or discoloration of the slats. Dust can easily
be brushed off at regular intervals using a clean, soft dust cloth
or a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment.
To Dust:
Use a soft, clean clooth and tilt the slats up---dust---then turn
slats down---and dust. This method reaches the top and bottom
surfaces effectively. Do this when you begin to see dust accumulate
on slats.
To Vacuum:
Using the brush head attachment on your vacuum, lightly go over
each slat, first by tilting the slats up---vacuum---then turn
slats down---vacuum. Do this when you begin to see dust accumulate
on slats.
Monthly Cleaning Steps:
1. Release the blinds so that
all slats are exposed.
2. Close the blinds so that the slats all face one direction.
3. Wipe with a damp rag.
4. Close the blinds in the opposite direction and wipe them again.
Overall Tips:
Cloth-covered blinds should be vacuumed regularly and cleaned
every two yea
