Removing the Blind (If Necessary)
■
Fully raise the blind.
■
To remove the valance gently pull the valance up and towards you.
■
Push up on the bottom of the end bracket to release the locking tab, see page 15.
■
Grab underneath the headrail using both hands and carefully pull the blind out of the end
brackets.
Cleaning Procedures
Like any fine furnishings, Hunter Douglas wood and alternative wood blinds should be cleaned
regularly to keep them looking new.
Recommended Cleaning Methods
■
Dust regularly. Use a soft clean cloth, chemically-treated dust cloth, or dusting mitt. Lower
the blind to its full length, tilt the slats almost all the way down, and dust. Then tilt the
slats almost all the way up and dust. (Not closing the slats all the way allows dusting
where the slats overlap.)
■
Blinds may also be vacuumed. Use the brush attachment and tilt the slats up and down as
described for dusting.
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.
IMPORTANT:
Hunter Douglas does not recommend ultrasonic cleaning of wood or
alternative wood blinds.
A Note About Wood and Alternative Wood Products
Blinds may feature subtle variations in color, grain, and texture. These variations are within
established industry standards and should be expected.
