Fabric Care Instructions

Stains or smudges can be removed by wiping with a sponge soaked in lukewarm water containing a little neutral soap and then sponged with fresh water and dried gently with a clean towel. Small marks can be removed by a light rub with an art gum rubber. Never use abrasive or solvent based cleaners, and never roll up a blind which is damp.

Stains or smudges can be removed with a soft sponge dampened with lukewarm water containing a little neutral soap or mild detergent, (the sponge should be squeezed almost dry).

Systems

Privasee® Venetian Blind Systems

Before raising the blinds, always ensure that the slats are titled fully open and, where fitted, bottom rail retaining brackets are released. When opening the window behind the blind, always raise the blind first. Pushing your hand through the slats only causes unnecessary damage to the slats.

Cleaning

Keeping your blind clean is as easy as using a feather duster once a week. When it?s time for spring cleaning, the blind can be removed from the brackets and hung from your clothesline to be washed with with a mild detergent and warm water. Make sure your blind is dry before refitting.
