Window treatments are the interior decorating elements, usually in places like Fairfield County CT, which are placed in, over, on, or around the windows. Usually, the purpose of these is installing the elements in order to enhance the room and window aesthetics. There are lot of styles that can be installed and these types may depend on where these are to be installed.

Another purpose of window treatments aside from decoration is for the protection of accessories, furniture, and flooring from damages due to the heat of sunlight. Some dirt and dust would possibly form into it, causing some respiratory issues and also allergies. So if you want these allergens to be cut down, follow these steps when cleaning Fairfield County CT window treatments.

Cleaning drapes and as well curtains. Be sure that you can be able to read and understand the label. Through this, you can know the proper ways on washing it by following the instructions carefully. Take note on the specifications like not using a washing machine when the instructions stated to hand wash.

Removal of particle of dusts from fabric treatments. One very useful tool for this is by the utilization of vacuum cleaners and be sure to set the lowest setting for the suction. For some spots, smudges, and stains, make use of a baby powder. Apply it into a toothbrush then scrub it to the dirt in a gentle manner.

And also, when drying the fabrics, make sure to read carefully the instructions in the label before placing it in the dryer. But if drying is fine, set the dryer into low heat or cool setting.

Cleaning blinds. Start this method by removing dust particles from your blinds. Depending on what is easy for you, you may either take it down, laid flat on your floor or leave it hanging on the window. Start on vacuuming from its top part using a brush attachment or a handheld vacuum. Feather dusters or soft cloth may be utilized for the removal of dust as well.

For the vinyl and plastic blinds, get an all purpose type of cleaner then spray it to the material or use a sponge. These may also be cleaned using the garden hose or may also be washed in a bathtub that is filled with warm water and mild liquid soap. For wood blinds, use the surface cleaner designed specifically for the woods. Make sure not to make it very wet to avoid wood warping.

Cleaning shades. A vacuum cleaner is used for this method. The vacuum should have the lowest setting of suction. Just like other methods, follow the label and instructions carefully. Usually, fabric types of treatments or shades are required to be dry cleaned. So avoid the use of a water solution when the specification is for dry cleaning only.

Plastic treatments or shades are required to be wiped using a clean cloth and this is should be dipped into the water mixed with liquid soap. For removing stains and spots, get an all purpose cleaner, spray it to the treatment then gently do the scrubbing. Lastly, mix the liquid soap with water and use it for honeycomb shades to be cleaned. Blot the stains or spots directly on the material. Avoid rubbing to prevent the texture from damages.
