how can you clean/wash shades?

Thank you for your question Robin. For dusting a vacuum with a brush attachment or a can of compressed air will work. For spot cleaning - warm water with a mild soap like Woolite or Scotchgard can be used. Work over spot in the direction of the pleat and leave down to dry. Do not oversaturate or immerse shade in water. Avoid contact with solvents or abrasive cleaners. The cellular shades can also be professionally cleaned using a cleaning service that uses a injection/cleaning method. - Kimberly
