So you’ve decided you want to explore easier to clean window coverings? Great, take a look at your best options!
Vertical Blinds
Often considered to be the best choice for hassle-free cleaning. Attracting very little dust, the vertical slats are very easily kept clean with the occasional passing of a vacuum or duster.
Roller Blinds
Amazingly, one of the most popular options is also one of the easiest to clean. The flat roller material of these blinds naturally attract minimal dust. For easy cleaning, when the roller shade is drawn down, simply use a duster or vacuum to wipe away any dust or particles. Spot cleaning with a warm, damp cloth is also a simple and effective way to remove any dust or dirt. Once you’re done, wipe the blinds dry with a clean cloth, and you’re ready to raise them again.
Faux Wood Blinds
Although these blinds require a little more time and attention than the previous two, Faux Wood Blinds are still a great easy-to-clean option. For regular maintenance, and to prevent the buildup of dust and dirt, vacuum or dust your Faux Wood's regularly. This will help prevent significant buildup.
It is also suggested from time to time to clean each slat with a lightly soapy and dampened microfiber cloth, wiping each slat, starting from the top.
Panel Track Blinds
Excellent option for large windows and sliding doors, panel track blinds are also as simple to keep clean as Roller Shades. Simply vacuum or pass over with a duster to remove any surface dust. Spot cleaning with a warm, damp cloth is also safe, when needed.

A note on motorization
All our offered styles can be motorized, giving you peace of mind from dangerous cords, and allowing you to easily control your blinds via an app on your smartphone or tablet, a remote control, or a wall-mounted switch.
Although not required, motorization can be a game-changer when considering window coverings for hard-to-reach windows (making it more difficult to open and close the shade regularly), and tall windows (heavier fabrics can be challenging to manually raise and lower).
