<p>- Very professional. They were on time. They did not pressure sell. I would say the salesman used the soft sell.  He was not in a hurry. He listened. The blind we choose came exactly on the day he said it would. It took 11 days, He said it would have been 8 except we ordered on a Friday. I&#8217;d use them again.</p>
<p>- Major Blinds service was excellent, &amp; yes, I would refer them to others.</p>
<p>It took a little longer than expected but overall happy with the choice selection of blind what major blind offered which certainly made fit to our budget. Thank you.</p>
<p>- The rep was very informative and knowledgeable.</p>
<p>- Outstanding outfit!!! When they came out for the estimate they brought an interior designer who made suggestions about color scheme, textures, etc. When the installer came out, he not only took down my old mini-blinds but also carted them away at no extra charge. The installation was supposed to take 1.5 hours, but only took 40 minutes. I will most definitely use these folks again for future window coverings. Note: they were a little more expensive than the other two contractors who came out, but worth every bit of it.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[All Hunter Douglas products are made for a lifetime of wear-resistant trouble-free performance.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Designed for Easy Care &amp; Cleaning</h2>
<p>• All Hunter Douglas products are made for a lifetime of wear-resistant trouble-free performance.</p>
<p>• Many shade fabrics are specially treated to repel dust and dirt.</p>
<p>• Aluminum horizontal blinds are treated with Dust Shield™, an anti-static paint additive that inhibits dust build-up.</p>
<p>• Detailed cleaning instructions are included with every Hunter Douglas window fashion.</p>
<p>• See the Care and Cleaning Chart on the last two pages for additional care and maintenance recommendations for most Hunter Douglas window fashions.</p>
<h2>Recommended Cleaning Methods</h2>
<p><strong>Dusting</strong></p>
<p>Regular light dusting maintains a like-new appearance of most blinds, shades, shadings, sheers, shutters and window panels.</p>
<p><strong>Vacuuming</strong></p>
<p>For deeper cleaning, vacuum gently with a brush attachment of any vacuum cleaner. Most products may be vacuumed using a vertical stroke; however, <em>Do not </em>use a brush attachment with Luminette® or Park Lane®</p>
<p><strong>Privacy Sheers</strong></p>
<p>Compressed air or hair dryer (non-heat setting). Use to blow dust off selected window coverings.</p>
<p><strong>Spot-cleaning</strong></p>
<p>Spot-clean shades and blinds with soft cloth or sponge moistened with lukewarm water. Add mild detergent if needed.</p>
<p>Blot gently to avoid creasing or damaging the fabric. Rubbing can damage fabrics. Spotcleaning may result in cleaner areas.</p>
<p><strong><em>Notes:</em></strong></p>
<p>• <em>Certain honeycomb fabrics should not be spot-cleaned. Please consult the Applause® and Duette® sections in the Care and Cleaning chart for more specific information.</em></p>
<p>• <em>Use cool, distilled water when spot-cleaning fabric-covered headrails on Alustra® Silhouette®, and Silhouette and Nantucket™ window shadings.</em></p>
<p><strong>Aluminum blinds</strong></p>
<p>Use an over-the-counter blind cleaner with a soft cloth.</p>
<p><strong>Vinyl and aluminum vertical blinds</strong></p>
<p>Reduce build-up of static electricity by applying a very thin film of detergent on all vanes.</p>
<p><strong>Bathtub cleaning/water immersion</strong></p>
<p>This method is used for EverWood® Collection alternative wood blinds, Modern Precious Metals® aluminum blinds and most, but not all, honeycomb fabrics.</p>
<p>1. Immerse entire shade assembly in lukewarm water with mild detergent. Wash for five minutes by gently moving liquid around with your fingers.</p>
<p><em>Not recommended for blinds with cotton or decorative tapes.</em></p>
<p><strong>Important!</strong> <em>Do not immerse</em> headrails on TruRise®, EasyRise™, LiteRise®, UltraGlide®, PowerRise® or Vertiglide™ systems, EverWood Collection or Modern Precious Metals blinds. <em>Do not immerse</em> specialty shapes mounting hardware for Alustra Silhouette and Silhouette window shadings, and Alustra Vignette® and Vignette Modern Roman Shades.</p>
<p>2. Rinse with clear water.</p>
<p>3. Close shade before removing from rinse water.</p>
<p>4. Hold rails and tilt the shade to allow excess water to drain off.</p>
<p>5. Re-install damp shade into window opening.</p>
<p>6. Lower shade all the way to allow it to dry completely.</p>
<p><em>Note: Honeycomb shades should be dried in the fully lowered position.</em> <em>Refer to the charts on the following pages for products not recommended for bathtub cleaning. Certain honeycomb fabrics should not be immersed</em></p>
<p><em>in water. Please consult the Duette and Applause sections in the Care and Cleaning chart for more specific information.</em></p>
<p><strong>Ultrasonic cleaning</strong></p>
<p>Professional ultrasonic cleaning is recommended for several products.</p>
<p><em>Do not use this method for: </em>Chalet Woods® and Country Woods® wood blinds, Country Woods® Exposé™ wood blinds and wood cornices, Cadence® Motif™ soft vertical blinds, Crosswinds® wood vertical blinds, Skyline™ Gliding Window Panels, UltraGlide, PowerRise with Platinum™ Technology, Skyrise®, Simplicity™, Vertiglide, TruRise and LiteRise systems, EverWood and WoodMates® alternative wood blinds, Modern Precious Metals, Silhouette Bon Soir™, motorized systems, Nantucket Misty Harbor™ or metallized-backed shades.</p>
<p><strong>Injection/extraction cleaning system</strong></p>
<p>This type of cleaning injects a cleaning solution into the fabric and extracts the dirty solution in the same motion. It is a very effective way to deep clean your window treatments.</p>
<p>The service is typically performed in the home so there is no need to remove the window treatments.</p>
<p>Products that can use this method include any soft, fabric-based Hunter Douglas product including Luminette and Park Lane Privacy Sheers, Silhouette window shadings, Vignette Modern Roman Shades and Duette honeycomb shades.*</p>
<p>Dry method is recommended for certain fabrics.</p>
<p><em>Important! Do not clean fabric covered headrails or fabric-covered valances.</em></p>
<p>To locate businesses that utilize this method, check the yellow pages or call Hunter Douglas at 1-888-501-8364 for referrals. Hunter Douglas acknowledges these cleaning methods as being safe and effective. We cannot attest to the quality of equipment or services provided by any independent cleaning facility.</p>
<p><strong>Steaming</strong></p>
<p>Steaming can be done to remove wrinkles from some fabrics. A hand-held travel size steamer that provides continuous steam is best. Heavy-duty steamers are not recommended.</p>
<p>Please contact the Hunter Douglas Customer Information Center for product specifics.</p>
<p><em>* There are some specific fabric exceptions. Please refer to the Care and Cleaning chart.</em></p>
<p><em><br />
</em></p>
<h2>The following “helpful hints” have been outlined by product category</h2>
<p><strong>Faux Wood or Vinyl Products</strong></p>
<p>• To reduce static cling and help repel dust, wipe the product with dryer sheets.</p>
<p>• <em>Do not</em> use abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents, as they will scratch or damage the surface.</p>
<p>• Allow blinds in the EverWood® Collection to air dry to preserve the dust repellent properties of the slats.</p>
<p>• Clean Palm Beach™ polysatin shutters with mild soap and water. <em>Do not</em> use ammonia-based products.</p>
<p><strong>Wood or Hybrid Products</strong></p>
<p>• Clean using a dry and soft feather duster, clean cloth, dust cloth or dusting mitt. A vacuum with the soft brush attachment can also be used.</p>
<p>• Ultrasonic cleaning or use of chemical solvents and scrubbing cleansers are not recommended. They will damage the product.</p>
<p>• Protect all fine wood products from exposure to steam or high moisture areas, rain or outside irrigation systems to ensure their long life.</p>
<p>• When cleaning any window, spray glass cleaner on a cloth rather than spraying directly on the window. This will prevent damage to the wood finish by splattering cleaner.</p>
<p><strong>Cloth Tapes</strong></p>
<p>• Spot-cleaning with fabric cleaning wipes found at your grocery store is recommended for all tapes. These will typically not leave a stain or discolor the tapes. We suggest a cleaning test on the underneath side of the blind where the tape wraps around the bottom rail where any stain would be the least visible.</p>
<p>• 100% polyester tapes can be spot-cleaned with cool distilled water using a clean white cloth. Support the tape from behind using another clean cloth that is dry. Use a gentle blotting action to clean the spot or soiled area. Rinse by blotting with clean distilled water. Let air dry. A gentle detergent can also be used on the 100% polyester trims. Spot-cleaning may result in cleaner areas.</p>
<p>• If the tape is shiny or has a luster, DO NOT USE WATER. It is most likely rayon or acetate. The result will be a water stain. Wipes are the best for all fiber contents.</p>
<p><strong>Fabric Shades, Shadings or Window Panels</strong></p>
<p>• <em>Do not</em> use magnetic cleaners such as a dusting mitt on light-dimming fabrics. This will damage the light-dimming backing.</p>
<p>• When cleaning any window, spray glass cleaner on a cloth rather than spraying directly on the window. This will prevent damage to the fabrics by splattering cleaner.</p>
<p>• While some fabric window covering products may seem perfect for an outdoor setting, all are recommended for indoor use only.</p>
<p><strong>Sheers</strong></p>
<p>When choosing an ultrasonic cleaning technician for Luminette® or Park Lane® sheer fabrics, be sure to ask:</p>
<p>• Have you ultrasonically cleaned Luminette or Park Lane sheers for other customers?</p>
<p>• Do you have the proper equipment and Luminette or Park Lane product knowledge? The ultrasonic cleaning process requires the sheers to be removed from the home and transported back to the cleaning facility. And, sheers should be rolled on a tube during transport to minimize wrinkling and damage.</p>
<p>• Will the temperature of the bath water exceed 90°F? If the water temperature is higher than the recommendation, oxidation may occur in room-darkening vanes.</p>
<p>• Is your tank long enough to accommodate the length of the sheer? (Very important.) The tank used should be <em>at least </em>as long as the height of the sheer to allow for cleaning without folding and wrinkling the vanes.</p>
