Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades near Encinitas, California (CA)

Whether you prefer a crisp, clean, modern look or more traditional style, we’re going to introduce you to some window treatments that are easy to clean and bring a vibrant new look to your home.

Roller Shades: An Effortless Clean

Roller shades are a timeless window treatment option known for their sleek and minimalist design. But their appeal goes beyond aesthetics—they are also incredibly easy to clean and maintain. Here's why:

  1. Smooth Surface: Roller shades have a smooth surface, which means dust and dirt are less likely to accumulate on their façade. Regularly dusting them with a microfiber cloth or a feather duster is usually all that's needed to keep them looking fresh.
  2. Fabric Options: Hunter Douglas offers a wide range of fabric choices for roller shades, many of which are treated to repel stains and resist fading. This makes them a practical choice for homes with kids and pets. For example, Designer Roller Shades offer over 350 fabric and color variations to choose from.
  3. Motorization: Opting for motorized roller shades not only adds a touch of modern convenience but also eliminates the need for handling them manually. This can help keep them cleaner for longer, too. Check out more information about smart shades on our PowerView® Automation page.

Vertical Blinds: Easy Maintenance, Maximum Versatility

Vertical blinds are known for their versatility, making them suitable for large windows and sliding glass doors. We offer a truly wide variety of vertical blinds options to meet the needs of any homeowner. One of the best parts about using vertical blinds over horizontal blinds is that when you consider the way that dust falls and settles, it’s more likely to get caught in the horizontal slats of traditional blinds—with vertical blinds, dust will fall to the floor and make cleaning easier with your mop or vacuum.

Yet another reason to consider vertical blinds if you’re looking for easy-to-clean window treatments is because these blinds are a breeze to clean for the following reasons:

  1. Vertical Orientation: Unlike horizontal blinds, which can trap dust in their slats, vertical blinds' vertical orientation allows dust to fall away more easily. Regularly vacuuming or dusting them with a brush attachment can help maintain their cleanliness.
  2. Durable Materials: Hunter Douglas vertical blinds are constructed from durable materials that are easy to wipe down.
  3. Dust and Dirt Protection: One of the best vertical blinds enhancements we recommend is opting for dust and dirt protection with a dust cover valance. This feature will help minimize upkeep even further for your blinds.
  4. Design Variety: We offer several different iterations of vertical blinds, so you don’t have to compromise your design for ease of maintenance. For example, with our Somner® Vertical Blinds, you can choose from over 170 material and color choices for your blinds.

General Tips for Maintaining Easy-to-Clean Window Treatments:

No matter which window treatment you choose, there are some general tips to keep them looking their best:

  • Regular Cleaning Routine: Establish a regular cleaning routine to prevent dust and dirt buildup. This can extend the life of your window treatments and maintain their appearance. A simple wipe with a microfiber cloth can often do the trick. If your house is particularly dusty, consider using a vacuum with a small brush attachment to suck up the dust.
  • Professional Cleaning: Consider professional cleaning services for a deep clean occasionally. This can help remove deep-seated stains and pesky allergens from becoming an issue.
  • Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Stick to mild cleaning solutions recommended by Hunter Douglas to prevent damage to your window treatments. Harsh chemicals or stain removers could remove or damage color or finishes from the window treatment. Even if the damage isn’t immediately apparent, it could become a bigger issue down the line with the window treatment interacts with sunlight or has time to settle. It’s best to use mild soaps or solutions for your cleaning needs with these top-tier products.
