Bali Wood Blinds

Occasional light vacuuming with a brush attachment should keep blinds clean. More severe soiling can be removed from painted blinds by using a soft, damp cloth. Stained blinds can be treated with a lemon oil or other wood preservative.

If the cellular shades become soiled with topical dirt (i.e. dirt that is resting on the surface of the fabric), we recommend that the shade be spot cleaned using a soft cloth, a mild detergent and warm water. Extra care should be used when clearing Cocoon and Garden Retreat fabrics as the fabrics can permanently crease.

Due to the differences in ultrasonic cleaning operators, we cannot recommend this method of cleaning.
Do not use strong detergents or spot removers. Dry cleaning is NOT recommended.

Bali Roman Shades

Remove the shade from its window, open the shade and lay it out on a clean, flat surface, such as a table or countertop. If the shade is dusty, simply vacuum over it using an upholstery attachment.

For cleaning fingerprints or soiled spots on shades, we recommend using an aerosol spray foam upholstery or fabric cleaner, such as WooliteÆ or ScotchGardÆ 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) until the stains are removed. If necessary, the entire shade may be cleaned in this fashion. Be careful not to crush or wrinkle the fabric.

Remove the excess water from the fabric by patting with a clean, dry towel. Hang the shade up when completely dry.
