Care & Maintenance

As a common household dust collector, Roman Blinds should be regularly vacuumed with a dust brush or other appropriate attachment on a light suction setting. If further cleaning is required, we recommend professional curtain cleaning.

Training & Operating Roman Blinds

• Roman Blinds need to learn a memory for where to fold and stack.
• Pull cord or chain slowly and straight as possible when lifting the blind up,
  this allows the Roman Blind time to settle into its folds.
• Straighten any folds not sitting correctly to ensure the blind learns the correct memory.
• For safety keep chains and cords out of reach of children.
  
  

Operating Roller Blinds

• When opening and closing the blind, please keep the chain/cord control away from the fabric. This is done by operating the chain mechanism at right angles (perpendicular) to the blind. Note: chains pulled across the roller fabric will cause fraying.
  This type of damage is not covered under warranty.
• Never put any unnecessary pressure on the chain, wand or cord.
• When opening a window behind a blind, always raise the blind first – do not push your hands through or past the blind as it is likely to damage the blind.
• Keep windows closed on windy days as this can damage the blind and fabric.

Safety

• Keep chains and cords out of reach of children.
  

Light Gaps

• All Roller Blinds allow light to pass around the sides of the blind, even when blockout fabric is use.
  

Regular Care & Cleaning

• Remove surface dust, by carefully vacuuming the blind with a low suction and appropriate attachment.
• Clean spills or dirty finger prints using a damp clean white cloth. Do not
  immerse any part of the roller blind in water.
• Never use abrasive substance or solvents/industrial based cleaners.
• Never use chemical cleaners
  
  

Brush off any dust using a soft white cloth, feather duster or a vacuum cleaner with a dust brush attachment on a low suction. Remember to tilt the slats up and then down (but not entirely closed) to reach the top and bottom surfaces. Do not use any solvents on Venetian Blinds.

Operating Honeycomb Blinds

Corded:

As you operate the blind, the cord
lengthens. To lock it in place at the desired height, pull the cord sideways.
Another sideways pull will release the cord, allowing you to lower the blind to
your chosen level.

Honeycomb should be used in normal
humidity conditions and not in overly wet or humid environments which can cause mould or mildew.

Keep windows closed in windy conditions as this can damage the blind.

Regular Care & Cleaning

Regularly dust these blinds with a feather duster or vacuum gently with a low suction setting and a long-bristled attachment. Do not vacuum Luxaflex Elan fabrics.

If you need to spot clean, dampen a clean, white cloth with warm water and a mild detergent solution then dab the spot until it is gone. Be careful to not rub the spot. Allow the fabric to dry in its completely lowered position. Do not spot clean Luxaflex Alexa, Elan or India silks.

In the occurrence of an insect or spider going inside the cell, blow it out using a hairdryer on the cold air setting.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Keep free of dust with a soft cloth, feather duster, microfiber wand or gently vacuum with a soft bristle
  brush attachment.
• Use a small soft brush to dust cracks and hard to get at places.
• Spot clean with a soft damp cloth when necessary – quickly wipe dry. If soap and water must be used then use a small amount of PH neutral soap in lukewarm water.
• Regularly rotate Blades for even UV exposure.
• NEVER allow water to remain standing on the shutters. If water is able to penetrate the surface it may
  cause the timber to warp, create hairline cracks or damage the finish.
• NEVER use a silicon based product, abrasives or harsh cleaning products for cleaning your shutters.
• Repair any damaged surfaces to prevent premature deterioration.
• Ensure that panels are properly fitted to catches or supports at all times.
• Centre Tilt Rod - Always tilt the blades by using the Tilt Rod to reduce the chance of staples pulling loose.
  Do NOT open the panel by pulling on the Centre Tilt Rod.
• Bi-Fold Panels – When opening please remember to close the blades to prevent damage.
• Sliding Panels – When opening please remember to close the blades unless the panels are designed to
  slide with blades open.
• Regular vacuuming of Bi-Fold and Sliding tracks will keep them free of grit for easy action.
  

Please remember, even on well-maintained shutters all finishes will fade over time - fading cannot be
reversed or original tones rejuvenated.
