Best Way to Clean Wooden Blinds
As much as we all adore the look of wooden blinds in homes, knowing how to clean them properly can cause some hesitation for homeowners. After all, you don’t want to ruin your window treatments by trying to spruce it up.
If you’re looking to give your Hunter Douglas wooden blinds a little spring cleaning, our Blinds ‘N’ Shades Express team has all the tips and tricks you need for the best way to clean wooden blinds.
How to Clean Faux Wood Blinds
Many homeowners opt for faux wood blinds because of their low-maintenance nature and how close they resemble the real things. Excellent for busy, bustling households, Hunter Douglas EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds are easy to clean. Of course, you still want to ensure you’re following the proper steps to get them looking good as new.
For faux wood blinds, we recommend the following tips and tricks:
- Use a soft, clean rag, dust mitt, or microfiber duster.
- Lower the blinds all the way, then tilt the slats almost entirely down, allowing you to reach those tricky overlapping spots.
- Give them a gentle dusting from left to right.
- Use the brush attachment on your vacuum’s lowest setting for a deeper clean.
It’s ideal to minimize your usage of harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaning, and scrubbing cleansers. While powerful, these agents can cause damage to your blinds.
How to Clean Wooden Window Blinds
While requiring a little more care when cleaning, genuine wood blinds like Hunter Douglas Parkland® Wood Blinds can also remain easy to clean like their faux wood counterpart.
Here are some of our tips for cleaning wooden blinds so they look gorgeous in the warmer weather:
- Lower your blinds fully and tilt the slats slightly downward.
- Use a soft cloth, duster, or mitt to remove dust gently.
- Vacuum with a brush attachment for a refresh.
- Shine the slats with a lemon oil or wood preservative to protect the finish and keep the natural grain looking beautiful.
It’s best to avoid contacting your wooden window blinds with moisture, steam, and humidity. Natural wood does not hold up well against these elements and can lead to damage.
Cleaning Wooden Blinds With PowerView® Automation
There are a few special considerations when cleaning wooden blinds with PowerView® Automation. For example, avoid immersing headrails or mechanical systems in water or spraying cleaner on them.
When cleaning any window treatment, reading the care instructions for the wood or faux wood blinds and the motorization system is helpful to ensure the best results.
