Hunter Douglas Luminette Privacy Sheers
"A new deep cleaning method for Luminette sheers is now available.
After months of extensive testing, ultrasonic cleaning has been
approved. Since all ultrasonic cleaners do not have the same equipment
and/or processes, we have developed the following questions that
consumers should ask the ultrasonic cleaner before contracting with
them for service.
- Do you have experience ultrasonically cleaning Luminette Privacy
Sheers? Cleaners with experience should have the proper equipment
and product knowledge. Sheers should be rolled on a tube for transport
to the cleaning facility to minimize wrinkling.
- Do you have a tank long enough to accommodate the length of
my sheer? (Critical!) The tank should be at least as long as the
height of the sheer to allow for cleaning without folding and
wrinkling the vanes.
- Do you pre-treat stains? Heavy stains should be gently pre-treated,
taking care not to rub and abrade the fabric.
- How will you dry the sheers? Immediately after cleaning, sheers
should be hung vertically, with vanes in open position and loops
evenly spaced and formed. Sheers should be allowed to drip dry.
When dry, the sheers should be rolled on a tube for transport.
Cleaners should hang and dry sheers immediately after cleaning.
Under no circumstances should sheers be allowed to remain submersed
or wet for an extended period of time.
- How will wrinkles be removed? After cleaning and re-hanging
in the home, any wrinkles should be gently steamed out.
For further Questions about this or any other method of cleaning
Luminette sheers, call the Hunter Douglas Customer Information Center
at 1-800-205-8225."

Cleaning Tip
Some blinds and shades need a serious whisk-brushing before
immersing and sounding. Even so, a goldfish strainer is a good tool
to get solids out of the ultrasonic tank.
Beware!

- Any metallic finish metal blinds - the clear mylar flakes off
- Silhouette "Bon Soir" light dimming shadings
