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.
