Empire Today Window Treatment Cleaning


Empire Today Window Treatments are designed for easy care and maintenance. Overall, the recommended cleaning methods will vary depending on the type of product you select. Below are descriptions of several different cleaning methods to make caring for your product hassle-free.

The following cleaning recommendations can be used for ANY Empire Today Window Treatment products.

Dusting
  Regular dusting maintains the appearance of most blinds, shades and sheers.

Hand-Held Vacuuming
  For deeper cleaning, vacuum gently with the brush attachment of any vacuum.

Additional cleaning methods listed below are effective for SELECT Window Treatment styles:

Compressed Air or Hair Dryer 
   Use either compressed air or a hair dryer (set on the cool setting) to dust off selected window coverings.

Spot Cleaning
   You can spot clean shades and blinds with a soft cloth or sponge moistened with water. Add mild detergent if it is needed and ensure that you blot gently to avoid creasing. Honeycomb shades should be dried in a fully lowered position.

• Water Immersion
  Please consult the manufacturer’s product warranty details and care instructions

o Immerse entire shade assembly in lukewarm water mixed with mild detergent. Wash for approximately five minutes by gently moving the liquid around with your fingers.

o Rinse the shade assembly with clear water.

o Close the shade before removing from the rinsing water.

o Hold the rails and tilt the shade to allow excess water to drain off of them.

o Re-install the damp shade into the window opening.

o Lower the shade all the way to allow it to dry completely.


Ultrasonic Cleaning
   Professional ultrasonic cleaning is recommended for many products.

• On-Site Injection/Extraction Cleaning
   This type of professional cleaning injects a cleaning solution into the fabric and extracts the dirty solution in the same motion. It is a very effective way to deep clean your Window Treatments. This service is usually performed on site so there is no need to remove the Window Treatments.

• Steam Cleaning
Steaming can be done to remove wrinkles from some fabrics. A handheld travel size steamer that provides continuous steam is best. Heavy duty steamers are not recommended.

The following are care notes for SPECIFIC types of blinds:

Faux Wood or Vinyl Products
  To reduce static cling and to help repel dust, wipe the product with dryer sheets.

Wood Products
  Clean using a dry and soft feather duster, clean cloth or dusting mitt. A vacuum with a soft brush attachment can also be used.
