Cleaning question???

How do you clean cellular blinds?? I vacuumed them but they need more than that. Has anyone washed them and if so with what. Thanks

Re: Cleaning question???

You mean like the plastic blinds?

Fill the bathtub with hot water & dish soap...soak em & rinse em!

Re: Cleaning question???

perhaps they can be dry cleaned?

eta- I was thinking more like honeycomb blinds. But just realized you said cellular.

I found this on a web site:

Bali Cellular Shades
Regular Cleaning
Regular dusting with a feather duster is recommended.
When necessary, lightly vacuum over it using an upholstery attachment.

Soil Removal
If cellular shades become soiled with topical dirt (i.e. dirt that is resting on the surface of the fabric), we recommend that the shade be spot cleaned using a soft rag or sponge, a mild detergent and warm water. Be careful not to crush or wrinkle the fabric.
Remove excess water from the fabric by blotting dry with a clean, dry towel.
Extra care should be used when cleaning Midnight blackout fabric as the fabric could become permanently creased.
Do not use strong detergents or spot removers.
Dry cleaning is not recommended, and is not covered by warranty.
Due to the differences in ultrasonic cleaning operators, we do not recommend this method of cleaning.

hope it helps
