Protect Your Children Be aware that it is possible for children to strangle window covering cords. To reduce the occurrence of accident, all cords must be kept out of reach of children, including infants. Cord cleats are an effective way to implement this essential precaution. | |||||||||||
Mount the cord cleat at a safe height, taking into account furniture or other objects upon which a child may climb. Then after each use of the shade, simply wrap the excess cord around the cleat. It's fast easy and safe. Cleaning and Care The Shade fabric is easy to care for. Regular dusting with a feather duster or vacuum cleaner brush is recommended. Most stains can be blotted with a damp sponge and a mild detergent. For problem stains, the shade can be removed from the installation brackets and soaked in warm water. When damp, raise shade tightly to crisp pleats. Before using anything stronger than mild detergent and lukewarm water, test an obstructive corner of the shade.
