Silhouette shades are one of our most popular window treatments. That’s not surprising, really, as they combine the beauty of draperies with the functionality of a shade in a gorgeous way. Our customers through Northern VA love the style they bring to any room. Fortunately, Silhouette shades have been treated with a proprietary process that optimally repels dust, soil and stains. Some simple maintenance will keep Silhouette Shades looking new.
Cleaning Silhouette Shades
For everyday cleaning of your Silhouette window shadings you can:
- Lightly dust your shades. A feather duster works great.
- For a deeper cleaning try gently vacuuming your shades with the brush attachment that comes with most vacuums.
- To clean in between the vanes, you can use compressed air or try a hair dryer set on cool, not heat to blow dust away.
- If spot cleaning is needed, use a soft cloth or sponge moistened with lukewarm water. If necessary, add mild detergent and gently blot the fabric.
To keep your Silhouette window shading looking like new, we also recommend two additional cleaning methods:
- Injection/extraction cleaning system: This method of cleaning injects a cleaning solution into the fabric and immediately extracts the dirty solution. This service is usually done in the home so there is no need to remove the shade from the window.
- Professional ultrasonic cleaning: This method is best for shades that are heavily soiled. Ultrasonic cleaning takes the shade and dips it into a tank of warm water and mild detergent and then sound waves are used to clean the fabric.
