General Recommendations
Machine Washing
A maximum temperature of 30°C is recommended with special care: drum half full; short and gentle spin.
Hand Washing
It is suggested to completely dissolve the detergent in hot water by hand (30°C). Special care must be taken (do not rub, pull, stretch or wring). For drying, hang the piece immediately.
Care and Maintenance
Wood Blinds
- Ideally, use a duster to remove all loose dust
- After dusting, use a soft, non-rough cloth to clean them
- Never immerse wood blinds in water. When wood absorbs water, it warps
- Don't rub the blinds
For vertical, aluminum and imitation blinds
- Remove all the dust with a feather duster using gentle movements
- Once you have dusted your blinds, it’s recommended to use a soft, damp cloth with a non-abrasive cleaning substance such as white vinegar or orange oil
- Spray the cleaning substance on the soft, damp cloth, and then wipe the blinds gently
- Don't rub the blinds
- Don't spray cleaning substance directly onto blinds
For roman, honeycomb, zebra and sheer blinds
- Use your vacuum's soft brush attachment with low suction, or gently dust blinds with a handheld vacuum equipped with the brush attachment
- After dusting, most stains can be removed with a sponge or cloth, warm water, and a mild dishwashing detergent
- Don't saturate the material
- Don't use: alcohol-based detergents, powder detergents, bleach or degreasing cleansers
For pleated shades
- To clean, a feather duster is ideal because of its softness
- Any remaining dirt from the duster can be removed with the vacuum and its soft brush attachment to clean small crevices near the top rail
Cleaning of wall coverings
Overall suggestion: To remove dust it’s suggested to use a cotton cloth. It’s important to clean the cotton cloth regularly, to prevent the dirty cloth from staining the fabric wallcovering.
Dry cleaning
- Consists of vacuuming down with smooth movements
- Apply even pressure on the vacuum
- After vacuuming a particular section, dry clean it with a chemical sponge in horizontal movements
Wet cleaning
- Lightly soak a large sponge in a mild degreaser to clean the affected section
- Wipe your wallcovering in even motions to effectively remove dirt and stains
- It’s recommended to test a small portion of the wallcovering to see if it will fade
