Roman Shades. I would dare to go as far to say that they may very well be the perfect window treatment.<\/a> They\u2019re vibrant, easily customizable, and, most importantly, timeless. However, if you want your shades to physically withstand the test of time, you\u2019re going to want to keep them clean. Don\u2019t worry; it\u2019s pretty easy if you keep a weekly schedule and follow the steps listed below.<\/p>\n

  1. 1. Vacuum weekly using the upholstery brush attachment. Make sure to take special care for the pleats and folds on roman shades as dust is more likely to settle there and build up. If your home tends to collect above average dust, I recommend a few times a week or as needed.<\/li>\n
  2. 2. If your shade is embroidered, quilted, or has fringe, handle with care and opt for a microfiber cloth or fresh duster. Giving the duster a quick spritz of dust repellant will add in removing dust from your shade.<\/li>\n
  3. 3. To help prevent a spill or stain from setting, blot with club soda and a cloth immediately. This is not a cure for all spills and works best as a way to keep a stain setting than removing entirely. <\/li>\n
  4. 4. To launder your shade, you must first unthread it and remove it from the headrail*. Once the shade off the headrail, remove all dowels or metal rods. There are two options to wash the fabric of your shade.\n
