Key takeaways
- Dust regularly with a soft duster or vacuum brush.
- Wipe faux wood and vinyl with a damp cloth.
- Be gentle with real wood and fabric.
- Avoid harsh chemicals and soaking.
Everyday dusting
Close the slats and dust one direction, then flip and dust the other side. A microfiber cloth or vacuum brush works well. For fabric shades, use a vacuum brush on low suction.
Deeper cleaning by material
Faux wood, vinyl and aluminum can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild soap. Real wood should only be wiped lightly and dried quickly. Cellular and fabric shades are best vacuumed or spot cleaned, because soaking can damage glue and fabric.
Shutters wipe clean with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner.
When to call a pro
