How to Clean Faux-Wood Blinds
Offering the timeless appeal of wood with the added benefit of durability and easy maintenance, faux wood blinds are a popular choice for window coverings in modern homes. If you have invested in Hunter Douglas faux-wood blinds or are considering purchasing them, you might wonder what the proper steps are to keep your new window treatments looking great throughout the years. Our experts are here to walk you through the steps to clean faux-wood blinds.
Regular Dusting for Preventative Maintenance
Luckily, there are simple instructions for learning how to clean faux-wood blinds. The first step in keeping your faux-wood blinds clean is to keep up with regular dusting. Use a feather duster, a soft cloth, or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust from the slats. Dusting should be a part of your routine, as this will prevent dirt and grime from accumulating into a larger mess that will be harder for you to clean.
Spot Cleaning for Stains and Spots
For spots or stains on your faux-wood blinds, a gentle spot-cleaning approach is effective. We suggest creating a solution using mild detergent and water. Then, dampen a soft cloth with this solution and gently wipe the affected area. For stubborn stains, you can use a soft-bristled brush to scrub gently. Be sure to test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it won't damage the blinds. Once the spot has been cleaned, make sure to dry off your blinds thoroughly with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Deep Cleaning for a Fresh Start
Whether it's cars, carpeting, flooring, or window treatments, a deep clean is necessary every once in a while to keep anything looking spick and span. With this in mind, your faux-wood blinds may require a more thorough cleaning to maintain their brilliance. To do so:
- Fill a bathtub with warm water and a mild detergent.
- Remove the blinds from the window and lay them flat in the tub.
- Let them soak for a few minutes before using a soft sponge or cloth to wipe away any remaining dirt.
- Rinse the blinds with clean water and allow them to dry completely before rehanging.
Cleaning Hunter Douglas Faux-Wood Blinds
For those purchasing Hunter Douglas faux-wood blinds, there are a few specific steps in addition to the ones listed to keep them looking gorgeous.
Use a microfiber cloth or dusting attachment on your vacuum cleaner for optimal results. For spot cleaning, stick to mild solutions, avoiding harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
Regarding deep cleaning, Hunter Douglas provides detailed care instructions for each product. Following their guidelines ensures you clean your blinds effectively while preserving their longevity. Remember to check for any specific recommendations or cleaning products suggested by Hunter Douglas for your particular faux-wood blinds model.
