Boise Window Coverings

At Blindsource, the window coverings we provide are designed to require minimal care and cleaning. However, they may need regular dusting and periodic vacuuming. Below are some recommendations we suggest when it comes to the care and cleaning of your window coverings.

Blindsource Care & Cleaning

Dusting

Light, regular dusting will help maintain the appearance of your window coverings. This includes most blinds, shades, shutters, sheers, and window panels. However, it’s important not to use magnetic cleaners like a dust mitt on any light-dimming fabrics. This can damage the backing of your light-dimming product.

Vacuuming

Using the brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner, you can vacuum your window coverings to keep them clean using gentle vertical strokes. However, it’s important not to use a brush attachment or vertical strokes on some privacy sheers as it can crease the fabric. Also, make sure to check for any specific cleaning recommendations/warnings in your window covering product manual.

Forced Air

For select window coverings, we recommend using a hair dryer on a cool setting or a can of compressed air to clean and remove dust.

Spot Cleaning

If spot cleaning is an option for your window covering, we recommend using a mild detergent with no additives and a clean, white washcloth. Because the spot cleaning process is different for each individual product, it’s important to check the cleaning recommendations and warnings in your product manual.

Bug Removal

To prevent damaging delicate fabrics, it’s important not to use any type of stick or wand to push out bugs that are caught in your window coverings. Instead, we recommend using a hair dryer on a cool setting or a can of compressed air to gently blow them out.

Professional Cleaners

At Blindsource, we acknowledge the cleaning recommendations above to be safe and effective. Please see your owner’s manual before attempting any cleaning process.
