Maintenance: Cleaning instructions for venetian blinds

Basswood blinds

Like any wood furnishings, wood blinds should be dusted regularly to keep them looking new
Use a soft, clean cloth, feathre duster or dusting unit. (Not fully closing the slats in either position allows dusting where the slats overlap.)
Vacuuming them with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner, using the procedure just descrivbed, may also be used to clean blinds
Do not damp-clean blinds with a stained finish, since water could affect their sheen and surface appearance
Slats should not be cleaned with an abrasive cloth or sponge as this could also affect their sheen and surface appearance If basswood blinds should get wet in any way, the blind should be dried immediately. A combination of water and sun will result in the slat finish rapidly deteriorating

These blinds are designed to be durable, easily cared for and easily cleaned
These blinds are inherently anti-static and repel dust but occasional feathre dusting or vacuuming will be necessary to keep the slats clean and bright using the method as described abov for basswood venetian blinds
The duarble polymer coating on woodwinds slats resits chipping, cracking or warping. Stubborn spills or stains may be cleaned with soap and water
Slats should not, however, be cleaned with an abrasive sponge or cloth as this could affect their sheen and surface appearance
