Wood blinds: dust gently and keep moisture away, says Hunter Douglas

Hunter Douglas Parkland wood blinds should be dusted with a soft dry cloth or vacuum brush. Keep water and steam away, and spray glass cleaner onto a cloth rather than near the slats.

Real wood and faux-wood slats can require different care. Hunter Douglas recommends dry dusting or soft-brush vacuuming for Parkland real-wood blinds and avoiding steam, excessive moisture and harsh cleaners. Check other brands and powered shades separately.

Identify whether the blinds are genuine Parkland wood, faux wood, aluminum or another product. For powered blinds, turn the system off and consult its specific care instructions.
Lower the blind and tilt the slats nearly, but not completely, closed so overlapping surfaces are accessible.
Work from the top, using a soft dry cloth or duster on each slat. Avoid pulling or bending thin slats.
If needed, use a low-suction vacuum with a soft brush attachment and gently clean both faces.
On real wood, avoid steam, soaking-wet cloths, chemical solvents and abrasive cleaners. Apply glass cleaner to a separate cloth rather than spraying it directly near the wood.
Check normal operation and stop if cords, slats or wood show damage or warping. For faux wood, separately check whether damp cleaning is allowed.
