Tips

* While cleaning the window, consider the option of using an outdoor space, since the sunlight and air will quicken the drying process. However, do make sure that the area is clean and free of dirt.
* If you do not have a large open space, inside or outside your house, it is advisable to clean the shade in sections. Roll out a small area, clean it and then move to the next section.

Examine your window shade to determine the type of fabric from which it is constructed. If it is vinyl, you can also clean it using water and a mild cleaning detergent.

Remove the vinyl shade from the window opening. Find a clean, open space in which to roll the shade out. Place a blanket or other drop cloth over the space. Roll the shade out fully onto the blanket.

Attach an upholstery cleaning tool to the Vacuum Cleaner Reviews.With the shade still hanging on the window, unroll it as far as you are able. Starting from the top and working your way to the bottom, lightly vacuum the surface of the shade with the upholstery tool.

Window shades are a cost-effective way to cover window openings. They are easy to hang and often have excellent room darkening abilities. However, with normal use window shades can quickly become soiled.
