Aluminium Venetians

As with all metal-based products, Luxaflex® Aluminium Venetians can be subject to some variations in the slat finishes, and are considered normal, acceptable quality. Precautions should be taken to reduce exposure to harsh environmental elements, such as salt air. Even though Luxaflex Aluminium Venetians are made with a unique clutch system, preventing damage to the tilt mechanism caused by over winding the tilt wand, care during operation must still be taken.

ROUTINE CLEANING HINTS

Weekly Dusting
Dust your venetians with a duster or soft dry cloth each week. Don’t use a damp or oily cloth because you will probably leave marks and dust will set on the damp blades which is difficult to remove.
Vacuum Cleaning
Use the dusting brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner for a more thorough clean.
Close the blinds completely and vacuum each blade from the centre across to each side of the venetian a section at a time holding the venetians steady to avoid scratches. Work all the way to the bottom of the blind then turn the blades so they are pointing up and the backs are facing you and repeat the procedure.
Time for All Clean Blinds!
Once the dust is no longer easy to remove it is time to get your blinds professionally cleaned. We clean all four sides of your blinds (2 sides that you don’t get to with ordinary dusting), and the headbox. You should consider having cords that are badly stained or worn changed at this time.You get your blinds back clean, dry and shiny. Our special cleaning agent leaves a coated surface that resists dust build up.
