Care Instructions

Roller Blind Cleaning Instructions :

  • Dust with soft brush regularly to remove any dust.
  • Lightly dab a soft cloth with warm damp water.
  • Never roll up blinds whilst wet – allow time to dry completely
  • SHAW Fabrics – Surface dust should be removed with a duster or soft cloth. Fabric may be wiped with a damp sponge and dried with a clean cloth.
  • Never use abrasive products or solvents/industrial based cleaners. Do not roll up fabric which is damp.

Roller Shutters

  •  Simple inspection and cleaning 3-4 times a year
    is recommended.
  • When inspecting your shutter, you should look for any
    build-up of dirt or other obstructions in the guides and
    gently remove them, being sure not to damage the
    felt in the guides. This will ensure that your shutter
    continues to run up and down smoothly by not catching
    or getting stuck.
  • Inspect the curtain. Like any other outdoor product,
    it will have a build-up of dust or dirt on the curtain,
    but it also may have leaves or bugs that have lodged
    between the profiles or slats, preventing the curtain
    from shutting completely. You will most likely notice
    this from the inside of your home as you will see light
    beginning to leak through your shutter when it is fully closed.
  • To clean your shutters simply use a soft cloth or brush
    with non-abrasive or corrosive detergents. Depending on
    the build-up of dust and dirt a simple brushing over will
    remove it all. Gently wipe over the whole curtain to
    remove all the dirt.
  • Use of Water: Ensure that you do not get water inside
    the pelmet especially if your shutters are operated
    electrically. Water squirted into the pelmet can get in
    contact with the motor and cause you problems.
  • Difficult Stains: Contact Shaedz of Alice for advice.
