Ten Tips for Taking Care of your Window Treatments
Window treatments improve the aesthetics of your home and serve functional purposes like privacy, light control, and insulation. Proper maintenance is necessary to keep your window treatments in top condition. While keeping your window treatments in peak condition can be confusing, the team at Window Ware shares ten window treatment maintenance tips to help you take care of your Hunter Douglas window treatments. These guidelines will ensure your window treatments stay clean, functional, and beautiful.
1. Regular Dusting
Dust can build up on your window treatments over time, dulling their appearance. Use a feather duster or a soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to gently remove dust and debris. Regular dusting prevents dirt buildup and maintains the freshness of your window treatments.
2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
When cleaning your window treatments, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. These can damage the fabric or finish. Instead, opt for mild detergents and follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions. Always spot-test in an unnoticeable area first in case there are any issues.
3. Cleaning
Consider professional window treatment maintenance for cleaning window treatments on a deeper level. Some companies offer expert cleaning services tailored to Hunter Douglas window treatments. They have the knowledge and equipment to refresh your treatments without risking damage.
4. Gentle Handling
Treat your window treatments with care during daily use. Avoid yanking or pulling on cords, as this can lead to fraying or breakage. Gently raise or lower blinds and shades to extend their lifespan.
5. Protect Against Moisture
Excess moisture can be detrimental to some window treatments. To prevent damage, avoid exposing them to excessive humidity or moisture. Consider using a dehumidifier in areas prone to high humidity.
6. Regular Inspections
Periodically inspect your window treatments for any signs of wear or damage. This includes checking for loose strings, broken slats, or fading. Promptly addressing these issues can prevent further damage and extend the life of your treatments.
7. Child and Pet Safety
If you have children or pets, ensure that your window treatments are child and pet-safe. Hunter Douglas offers cordless and motorized options that eliminate the risk of entanglement. These options not only enhance safety but also provide convenience.
8. UV Protection
Protect your window treatments from the damaging effects of UV rays. UV rays can cause fading and deterioration of fabrics and materials over time. Consider using UV-blocking window films or shades to shield your treatments from direct sunlight.
9. Professional Installation
Proper installation is important for the longevity and functionality of your window treatments. Trust experienced professionals like us at Window Ware for precise and secure installations. Properly installed treatments are less likely to suffer damage or malfunction.
10. Store with Care
If you ever need to store your window treatments temporarily, do so with caution. Ensure they are clean and completely dry before storing. Use a breathable cover to protect them from dust and pests. Avoid folding or creasing, as this can cause permanent wrinkles.
