Window treatments add more than function; they reflect your personal style. With carefully-selected window coverings, you can create a cohesive look in both interior decor and furniture that matches perfectly. Store-bought window treatments offer limited design and color choices; custom window treatments provide more creative freedom and should be cared for regularly to maintain their beauty over time. Roller Shades Your window treatments can make or break the look of your interior design, so if you take pride in decorating your home with pride it may be time to upgrade from those old blinds and choose something more suitable to your taste and needs. Custom window coverings offer many advantages for windows that need them, including being created to precisely fit them without gaps that let in light or cause heat and UV exposure that damages furnishings and floors. Though this level of craftsmanship may cost more upfront, it will save time in replacing less-than-ideal window treatments in months' time. Maintain the appearance of your roller shades by performing regular maintenance and cleaning. Dust window curtains using a microfiber duster or vacuum with a brush attachment; and spot clean any stains as soon as they appear in order to avoid permanent fabric damage. Roman Shades Roman shades add an elegant, sophisticated appearance to any home, available in an assortment of fabrics. Furthermore, these window treatments are both sturdy and easy to maintain with items commonly found at home – such as feather duster, non-abrasive clean cloth or microfiber mitts for example. Vacuuming using an upholstery attachment and occasionally the crevice attachment is an effective way to lift surface level dirt and dust from window treatments like Roman Shades. Regular vacuuming will extend their lifespan. If you notice stains on your Roman Shades, first test the fabric for dye-fastness by dampening a clean towel with water and blotting a discrete area with it. Add mild detergent (such as hand-wash detergent designed for delicate fabrics) to the solution and blot again – before trying any additional steps such as bleach. Always follow the care instructions for the fabric used, allowing it to dry completely before rehanging your Roman Shades. This step is especially essential if you use natural or synthetic fabrics which may be sensitive to harsh chemical cleaners. Vertical Blinds Vertical blinds constructed of fabric are an attractive addition to any home and are easy to care for. Regular vacuuming and dusting will prevent build-up of grime and keep them looking their best, while dabbing lemon juice mixed with salt often does the trick when dealing with spots and stains; otherwise mild detergent may be applied – just make sure it meets all fabric label regulations first! If you suspect mould or mildew growth on your vertical blinds, it is often wise to remove and clean them thoroughly in order to both stop further growth and enhance indoor air quality. By doing so, not only will future problems be prevented but your quality of air may improve as well. Once your slats have been thoroughly cleaned and are ready for drying, it is vital that they dry in an ideal way. Laying them flat would be best as hanging them may cause them to deform or form knots; using a tumble dryer could even further harm them and cause shrinkage! Plantation Shutters Plantation shutters are an ideal addition to any home and offer many advantages such as adding value, keeping temperatures consistent during summer and winter seasons, lowering energy bills and cutting maintenance costs. Regular cleaning should be performed to maintain their beauty – using either a feather duster or clean, lint-free cloth to remove dust or other debris from their slats can usually suffice – at least weekly should be scheduled as an appointment with yourself to do this task. If you want to give your wood plantation shutters an intensive clean, use a damp cloth and furniture polish. Be wary not to apply too much moisture as too much can cause spotting and damage to the wood itself. Additionally, vacuums with nozzle attachments may reach tight areas more effectively while toothbrushes may help pick up stubborn dust that won't move with traditional dusting tools.
