Winter Tidy-Up for Window Treatments: How to Clean Shutters
Everyone talks about spring cleaning, but winter tidy-ups are just as important. Yet no matter what time of year homeowners tackle cleaning projects, they often overlook window treatments. This season, our Dale's AAA Blind Factory team recommends you include this task on your chores list with our helpful tips for focusing on interior shutters made from different materials.
How to Clean White Shutters to Keep Them Bright
Manufacturers craft white interior shutters from genuine wood, vinyl, and composite materials. Their striking white color brightens rooms with a clean, airy aesthetic. However, they’re quick to show dust and fingerprints. To help with this potential drawback, dust them regularly with a soft microfiber cloth, feather duster, or a small vacuum brush attachment. These methods remove surface dirt, which can build up if left unattended long enough.
You must adjust your method according to the shutter material for spot removal and deeper cleaning.
How to Clean Wood Shutters
Homeowners value genuine wood shutters, such as Hunter Douglas Heritance® Wood Shutters, for their natural beauty and durability, but these window coverings require gentle care to preserve their natural luster. When dusting, go with the wood grain rather than against it to avoid scratches and leave behind a beautiful shine.
Additionally, since wood tends to absorb moisture, it’s best to avoid wet cleaning methods. If you notice spots that a dry cloth isn’t getting, try a wood cleaner specially formulated for indoor wooden furniture. Apply a small amount to a cloth rather than directly onto the shutters, and test in a discreet area first to avoid unwanted discoloration.
How to Clean Composite Shutters
Composite shutters, like NewStyle® Composite Shutters, are composed of a blend of wood and synthetic materials. They’re more heat—and moisture-resistant than natural wood. After dry dusting, use mild soap mixed with warm water for a deeper clean. Apply your mixture with a damp cloth and gently wipe down each shutter, being careful not to soak the window treatment.
Although composite shutters resist moisture better than wood, wiping them dry prevents water spots and keeps the surface looking fresh, reducing the risk of residue buildup.
How to Clean Vinyl Shutters
High-quality vinyl shutters, including Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters, resist warping, fading, and cracking but still need a little TLC occasionally. Dust them with a dryer sheet, microfiber cloth, or feather duster. Lightly vacuum these shutters with a hand-held vacuum with a brush attachment.
For spot cleaning, use gentle soap mixed in water, apply it with a damp cloth, and dry thoroughly.
Tips for Cleaning Interior Shutters
A few tips to keep in mind as you’re cleaning your interior shutters this winter include the following:
- Choose non-abrasive cleaning products and avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes.
- Set a consistent cleaning schedule to prevent dust buildup and deep clean quarterly.
- Use a soft toothbrush on the shutter’s hinges.
