How to dust, clean and care for blinds, shades, shutters and drapery, and how to tell when a repair is worthwhile or replacement makes more sense.
Window treatments last longer with simple care. Dust builds up, kitchen film settles and cords wear. Homeowners in Nashville ask how to clean each type safely and when to repair or replace something that has stopped working.
Wood and faux wood need gentle dusting and a lightly damp cloth, aluminum can be wiped, cellular and pleated shades prefer brush vacuuming and drapery depends on fabric and lining. Cords, locks and tilt mechanisms wear and can often be repaired. We tell you honestly when parts are not available or repair costs approach replacement.
