blinds starts with matching your method to the material. Wood Blinds, Faux Wood Blinds, Metal Blinds, Panel Track Blinds and Cellular Shades each have specific care needs, so the safest blind cleaning method depends on the type of blinds you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blinds cleaning guide starts with a simple three-step method that works for most blinds and shades: vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove loose dust, dust the surface, then spot clean as needed. From there, you\u2019ll find material-specific tips for cleaning each type of blind and shade safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-key-takeaways-choosing-a-roman-shade-style\"><strong>Key Takeaways: How to Clean Blinds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Match your cleaning method to the material or type of blind.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The three-step method (vacuum, dust, spot clean) is the easiest and safest blind cleaning method for most blinds and shades.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use warm water and a little dish soap for spot cleaning. Skip harsh chemicals that break down fabrics and finishes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shades and blinds often need professional cleaning if soiled beyond a spot

blinds or shades. We recommend an upholstery wand attachment and running it from top to bottom. For hard textiles like Vertical Blinds and fabrics like Roman Shades, use a low suction setting to protect the material. Using a vacuum cleaner with an attachment handles most blind cleaning between deep cleans.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id10017_2d6e30-58{margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.kb-row-layout-id10017_2d6e30-58 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id10017_2d6e30-58 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id10017_2d6e30-58 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var(--wp--style--global--content-size);padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id10017_2d6e30-58 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id10017_2d6e30-58 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id10017_2d6e30-58 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id10017_2d6e30-58 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column10017_98500b-16 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column10017_98500b-16 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column10017_98500b-16 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column10017_98500b-16 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column10017_98500b-16 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column10017_98500b-16 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column10017_98500b-16{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column10017_98500b-16 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column10017_98500b-16 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column10017_98500b-16 inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10017_689048-f5, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10017_689048-f5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10017_689048-f5\"]{font-style:normal;text-transform:uppercase;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10017_689048-f5 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10017_689048-f5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10017_689048-f5\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10017_689048-f5 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10017_689048-f5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10017_689048-f5\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 id=\"flat-roman-shades\" class=\"kt-adv-heading10017_689048-f5 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10017_689048-f5\">2.

Use a feather duster, a microfiber cloth or a soft paint brush to gently sweep dust off the slats or fabric. An adhesive dust brush works particularly well on horizontal blinds because its soft fingers slip between slats and grab dust from both sides at once rather than pushing it into the air.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id10017_14bf0e-41{margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.kb-row-layout-id10017_14bf0e-41 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id10017_14bf0e-41 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id10017_14bf0e-41 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var(--wp--style--global--content-size);padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id10017_14bf0e-41 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id10017_14bf0e-41 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id10017_14bf0e-41 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id10017_14bf0e-41 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column10017_70cf43-c2 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column10017_70cf43-c2 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column10017_70cf43-c2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column10017_70cf43-c2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column10017_70cf43-c2 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column10017_70cf43-c2 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column10017_70cf43-c2{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column10017_70cf43-c2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column10017_70cf43-c2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column10017_70cf43-c2 inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10017_941594-ef, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10017_941594-ef[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10017_941594-ef\"]{font-style:normal;text-transform:uppercase;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10017_941594-ef mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10017_941594-ef[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10017_941594-ef\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10017_941594-ef img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10017_941594-ef[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10017_941594-ef\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 id=\"flat-roman-shades\" class=\"kt-adv-heading10017_941594-ef wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10017_941594-ef\">3.

including Vertical Blinds. Wet a soft sponge, wring it out well and wipe each spot in a gentle circular motion. Let the area air dry before raising the blinds. If a stain resists this treatment, stop before you scrub. Some materials, especially natural fibers and printed textiles, can be permanently damaged by aggressive cleaning. If you&#8217;re having trouble, don&#8217;t hesitate to reach out to Client Services at 800-754-1455 or email help@theshadestore.com and we can recommend the right care or a trusted local cleaner.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id10017_6fd600-3d{margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:25px;}.kb-row-layout-id10017_6fd600-3d >

Match the method to the material and you will get years of life out of a set of custom blinds.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id10017_f01594-2d > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id10017_f01594-2d > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id10017_f01594-2d > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id10017_f01594-2d > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id10017_f01594-2d > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id10017_f01594-2d > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id10017_f01594-2d alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"clean-by-blind-type\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column10017_bf69e5-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column10017_bf69e5-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column10017_bf69e5-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column10017_bf69e5-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column10017_bf69e5-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column10017_bf69e5-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column10017_bf69e5-4c{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column10017_bf69e5-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column10017_bf69e5-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column10017_bf69e5-4c\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-are-roman-shades\">How to Clean Blinds by Material &amp; Type<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every type of blind has a slightly different care routine.

Water can warp real wood or damage the finish over time, so avoid excessive water. Dust with a microfiber cloth or an adhesive brush, working slat by slat from the top down. For light stains, use a barely damp cloth and dry the wood immediately. Never leave water sitting on a wood surface. If you have Faux Wood Blinds, they tolerate more moisture and can be cleaned like vinyl.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id10017_21ca0a-ad{margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:20px;}.kb-row-layout-id10017_21ca0a-ad

Blinds operate on a track system, so cleaning them in place is the safest approach. Start with a low-suction vacuum and an appropriate attachment, moving from top to bottom. Dust with a feather duster or soft paint brush, working along each vertical panel. For spot cleaning, use warm water with a small amount of dish soap on a soft sponge, working gently in a circular motion and letting each panel air dry fully. Never fold, scrunch or bend the panels, as this can damage the material and affect how they hang.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column10017_5d9698-2c >

id=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/what-are-cellular-shades\/\">Cellular Shades, sometimes called honeycomb shades<\/a>, or pleated shades need a light touch because their pleated construction traps dust inside the folds. Vacuum on low suction with an upholstery attachment, moving in the direction of the pleats. For dust that has settled deeper into the folds, blow it out with a hair dryer on the cool setting. Spot clean any surface marks with a barely damp cloth and let the shade air dry fully in the down position. Never submerge any of these shades in water. The pleats lose their structure once fully wet.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id10017_1a03dd-2c{margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:20px;}.kb-row-layout-id10017_1a03dd-2c

href=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/shades\/roman-shades\">Roman Shades<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/shades\/woven-wood-shades\">Woven Wood Shades<\/a> are both best cleaned dry or by a professional. For Roman Shades, dust with a microfiber cloth or vacuum with an upholstery brush. For Woven Wood Shades, a soft dry brush works better because the natural fibers can hold onto moisture. Deep cleaning either style is a job for a professional. Trust the results to a specialist rather than risk warping the woven fibers or damaging the fabric.

washing. Dust with a microfiber cloth or feather duster, working gently across the material. For spot cleaning, use warm water and a small amount of dish soap on a barely damp cloth, working in a circular motion and letting the material air dry fully in the down position. Never submerge Roller or Solar Shades fully in water. The stiffening treatment may wash out, leaving the panels limp.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id10017_0ab5f3-b2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id10017_0ab5f3-b2 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id10017_0ab5f3-b2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id10017_0ab5f3-b2 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id10017_0ab5f3-b2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id10017_0ab5f3-b2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id10017_0ab5f3-b2 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"clean-blinds-without-taking-down\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column10017_a7f554-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column10017_a7f554-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column10017_a7f554-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column10017_a7f554-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column10017_a7f554-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column10017_a7f554-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column10017_a7f554-a9{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column10017_a7f554-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column10017_a7f554-a9 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column10017_a7f554-a9\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"choosing\">How to Clean Blinds Without Taking Them Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For most homes, taking blinds down is unnecessary. The three-step vacuum, dust, spot clean method works well while the blinds hang in place, which is the easiest way to clean blinds without taking them down. The trick is starting from the top and working down so any loose dust falls onto slats you have not yet cleaned. Close the blinds fully so you can wipe or dust in one direction, then flip the slats and repeat. For fabric styles, angle a low-suction vacuum to lift dust without pulling the fabric.

data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10017_e43788-56\">When dust has built up beyond a light layer, an adhesive dust brush is the fastest fix. These brushes have thin soft fingers that slip between slats and pull dust off both sides at once. A microfiber cloth folded over your hand works nearly as well. For dusty fabric blinds, run a lint roller lightly across the surface before vacuuming to lift the top layer without pressing dust deeper into the weave. The best way to clean dusty blinds is to catch them before the dust bonds to the surface, so a monthly quick pass beats a twice-a-year deep clean.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id10017_b720ce-02 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id10017_b720ce-02 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id10017_b720ce-02 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id10017_b720ce-02 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id10017_b720ce-02 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id10017_b720ce-02 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id10017_b720ce-02 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"deep-cleaning-bathtub\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column10017_405cd0-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column10017_405cd0-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column10017_405cd0-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column10017_405cd0-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column10017_405cd0-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column10017_405cd0-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column10017_405cd0-92{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column10017_405cd0-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column10017_405cd0-92 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column10017_405cd0-92\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"taking-down-to-clean\">How to Take Down Blinds for Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking down blinds for cleaning is best done by one of our professionals.

class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faqs\">Blind Cleaning FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How often should I clean my blinds?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dust once a month and spot clean as needed. A professional cleaning about once a year is enough for most homes. Rooms with heavier traffic or airflow, such as kitchens and entryways, may benefit from more frequent cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I put blinds in the washing machine?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Machine washing can damage the stiffening that holds the hard textiles of Vertical Blinds and Roller Shades straight and may bend or dent slats on wood, faux wood and metal blinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Can I deep-clean blinds in the bathtub?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t recommend deep cleaning our blinds, or any of our window treatments, in the bathtub. A soak in water can damage your custom blinds or shades, depending on the material composition of the treatment. The best course of action for deep cleaning blinds or shades is to call Client Services and we can direct you to a professional local cleaner who knows how to handle your particular window treatment and stain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the best cleaner for blinds?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warm water with a small amount of dish soap works for most blind cleaning needs. For dust, a microfiber cloth or blind cleaning brush is usually more effective than spray cleaner. Avoid bleach, ammonia and abrasive cleaners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do I have to take blinds down to clean them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rarely. Regular dusting and spot cleaning can usually be done with the blinds in place. If deeper cleaning is needed, call our Client Services at 800-754-1455 to schedule a service appointment where our professionals can take down your treatments for cleaning if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do I clean blinds that are stained with grease?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kitchen grease often needs more than dish soap. For faux wood or metal blinds, use a small amount of citrus-based degreaser diluted with warm water. For Roller Shades or Cellular Shades, grease can set into the material quickly and home cleaning methods may make the stain worse. Call Client Services at 800-754-1455 so we can confirm the material composition and recommend a local professional cleaner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-the-shade-store\">About The Shade Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Shade Store is a premium custom window treatment company with a rich heritage in luxury textiles and interior design.
