Cleaning Fabric Pleated Shades

Most of the cellular shades, like the Hunter Douglas Duette shade, are anti-static, and they require very little cleaning. A light sweep with your vacuum cleaner upholstery brush attachment is all that is needed to keep them dust free.

For a more thorough cleaning, the entire shade assembly may be gently wiped with a soft damp cloth using lukewarm water—do NOT use hot water. Take special care when handling opaque (blackout) shades to avoid creasing, and do not immerse them in water. For tough stains, spot clean with a mild detergent.

Some shades, like the Graber Crystal Pleat have a "soft hand" fabric. Be very careful when cleaning these types of shades as they tend to "pill."
