Keeping your shades in Hillsboro Beach, FL, clean is a regular task that you need to perform. Shades can easily collect dust and dirt that can make them look dirty or dingy over time. It is easy to keep your shades clean if you follow these tips and keep up with the task on a regular basis.

Dust Regularly

Regular vacuuming can ensure that your shades  are free of dirt and debris. Using the brush attachment, you can gently clean your shades. Be sure to start at the top and work your way down the shade surface. Never swipe the vacuum attachment up and down as you can damage the fabric of the shades and cause them to lose their structure and shape.

If you prefer to use a duster, you need to make sure that you select one that is wool. This will attract dust to the duster and not move it to another part of the shade. Dusters that are made of feathers and polyester may work well in other parts of your home, but on shades, they cling to the fabric and spread dust.

Be sure to wash the wool dust head in between each dusting session. You should dust as often as once a week to prevent build-up on the shades.

Remove Stains

Staining can also occur on your shades in Hillsboro Beach, FL. You can eliminate these unsightly blemishes by using a light cleaning solution and a damp cloth. Be sure not to saturate the area. Gently rub the area of the stain and allow your shades to hang dry.

Never use wipes or laundry detergent on your shades to clean stains. This can cause discoloring and ruin the material that your shades are made of.

Apply A Stain Guard

After you have properly cleaned your shades, it is best if you apply a fabric stain guard to their surface. This will help repel stains and make it easier to keep your shades clean.

Be sure to spray both the front and back of your shades for full coverage. Use a light coat and apply several times. Do not saturate the shades with one heavy coat to save time. This will only stain the fabric and prevent it from drying without damage.

An antistatic solution will also help to retain the shape of your shades. This can be applied in the same way that the static guard is – lightly to the front and back in several coats. Do not saturate.

Keeping your shades in Hillsboro Beach, FL, clean can help them look pristine at all times in your home. They will have a long-lasting life and always have a fresh and clean appearance.
