Maintenance Tips

Maintain your PVC blinds with these simple steps:

  • Use a soft, dry cloth or feather duster weekly, paying attention to top rails and bottom weights.
  • Mix mild detergent with warm water. Wipe slats with a soft sponge or cloth, then rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
  • For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Test on an inconspicuous area first, then rinse and dry immediately after application.
  • Vacuum tracks monthly to remove debris. Lubricate moving parts with silicone spray annually.

Avoid using abrasive cleaners, rough scrubbing pads, high-pressure water cleaning, or harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia. These simple maintenance practices will help ensure the longevity and appearance of your PVC blinds.
