Removing the Blind (If Necessary)

Slide the snap buttons out of the mounting brackets. 

Remove the flat head screws if used instead of the snap buttons.

Cleaning Procedures

Like any fine furnishings, Hunter Douglas wood and alternative wood blinds should be cleaned 
regularly to keep them looking new.

Wood and Alternative Wood Blinds

Dust regularly. Use a soft clean cloth, chemically-treated dust cloth, or dusting mitt.

Blinds may also be vacuumed using the brush attachment.

Another way to clean blinds is simply by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth.

Wood Blinds Only

Stained blinds, like wood furniture, should be treated periodically with lemon oil or other 
wood preservative to protect their finish and enhance their luster.

Alternative Wood Blinds Only

Wash the slats using a non-abrasive mild detergent solution. Allow to air dry to preserve 
the dust repellent properties of the slats.

For a more thorough cleaning, alternative wood blinds may be immersed in a bathtub.

IMPORTANT:  

Hunter Douglas does not recommend ultrasonic cleaning of wood or 

alternative wood blinds.

A Note About Wood Products

Hunter Douglas wood blinds are true wood products, made from 100% hardwood. There will 
be variations in color, grain, and texture that are characteristic of all woods. These variations 
will be especially visible in blinds with light color stains. The variations are normal and are 
considered acceptable quality.
