Pleated Shades
  • Remove the shade from its window; open it and lay out on a clean, flat surface.
  • If the shade is dusty, vacuum with an upholstery attachment.
  • To clean fingerprints or soiled spots, use an aerosol spray foam upholstery or fabric cleaner such as Woolite® or ScotchGard® upholstery cleaners.
  • Spray the foam cleaner over the entire area to be cleaned. Immediately scrub the area with a clean, damp sponge (back and forth gently in the direction parallel to the pleats in the fabric) until stains are removed. Be careful not to crush or wrinkle the fabric.
  
  • Remove excess water from the fabric by patting with a clean, dry towel. Hang the shade up when completely dry.
  • Frequent cleaning may tend to remove the fullness and body of the pleated fabric.
  • Do not use strong detergents or spot removers. Dry cleaning is not recommended. Due to the differences in ultrasonic cleaning operators, we do not recommend this method of cleaning.
