Durability and Maintenance of Cellular Shades

Cellular Shades provide exceptional energy efficiency and elegance, but they do require special care. With a wide range of light filtering options and cell sizes and numbers, it's important to recognize that the durability and maintenance of one type of cellular shade may differ slightly from that of another. Keep in mind that you'll need to follow manufacturer instructions and recommendations when cleaning and maintaining your cellular shades in order to keep them looking great for years.

In general, though, cellular shades are relatively durable and resist dusts and stains. Although resistance and durability will differ depending on fabrics, models, and manufacturers, most cellular shades can be easily cleaned with a spray fabric or upholstery cleaner like Woolite or Scotchguard.

• Keep cellular shades open during and after cleaning to properly air out the fabric and keep moisture from getting trapped in the pleats.
• Lightly spray the soiled area with the appropriate cleaner and gently wipe the fabric with a damp cloth or sponge. Always wipe horizontally along the pleats so as not to damage the fabric or folds.
• Take care not to crush or wrinkle the fabric.
• Pat with a dry cloth or towel to remove excess moisture but leave the blind fully extended to allow air to circulate between the pleats and through the honeycomb cells.
• Be aware that excess cleaning, as with any window treatment, may result in loosening the pleats and structure of the cellular shades.

Most of the time minor dust stains on your cellular shades can be easily removed with a dry cloth. Always wipe the cellular shades clean with horizontal strokes parallel to the pleats. In general, cellular shades are remarkably dust and stain resistant and require little maintenance. Be sure to follow manufacturer instructions when cleaning your cellular shades, however, in order to stay within the terms of any warranties and to ensure the integrity of your cellular shades.
