Window shutters are beautiful and can be added to any home’s decor. When it comes to filthy and dusty shutters, however, the contrary is true! Verosol shutters, like anything else, require cleaning to maintain their aesthetic integrity. You’re probably too busy to deep clean your shutters on a regular basis. Apart from cleaning, taking care to open and close them correctly increases their endurance and helps to keep them in excellent shape.
Easy-to-follow guidelines for cleaning and maintenance
Use the Right Cleaning Supplies
Shutters are made of a variety of materials, including vinyl, aluminium, wood, and real wood, to name a few. Regardless of the material, you can dust all types of window shutters using a clean, soft cloth. However, you must exercise caution when deep cleaning them, as some materials are more delicate than others. When wood is moist, for example, it might become bent or discoloured.
Dust should be wiped away on a regular basis.
Simply close the Verosol blinds and rub the dust off each slat with clean cotton or a dry sock glided over your hand to keep them dust-free. Alternatively, on a low setting, use a vacuum with a little dry brush attachment. Repeat the process by rotating the slats.
Keep Shutters Bright with a Damp Cloth
To remove dirt accumulation, wipe inside window shutters with a damp cloth once a week, especially in the hinges and around the corners of the louvres. In the hinges and crevices, use a paint brush or toothbrush to remove stubborn debris or dust. Depending on the weather in your area, outside shutters can be washed down once a month with a moist cloth. Wiping them down with a moist cloth on a daily basis removes the need for frequent deep cleaning.
Once a month, clean the exterior shutter hinges.
If you reside in an area with a lot of pollution, dust, and filth, cleaning and oiling the hinges of your outside shutters once a month is a smart idea. Hinges might become stiff or noisy with time, but this is easily remedied with a drop of household lubrication. Remove any dust or dirt from the hinge and apply a drop of lubricant or oil to the top of the hinge, right under the hinge pin’s head. Then open and close the shutters a few times to let the lubricant through. This will ensure that your shutters swing smoothly at all times.
Getting Rid of Shutter Stains
Although stains can be annoying, most shutter stains can be eliminated by spot cleaning with the proper cleaning solution. Treat the stain with a clean cloth, then rinse and pat dry. It may be essential to treat tough stains more than once to thoroughly eliminate them.
