Proper care of solar shades requires regular dusting or vacuuming using a soft brush attachment. Alluring Window recommends that stained shades be cleaned with a sponge and mild detergent, finishing with a thorough rinsing. Do NOT immerse the fabric of solar shades completely. DO allow them to dry entirely before raising them. Commercial spot cleaners may be used when necessary, but we recommend you test them in an inconspicuous area and allow the cleaner to dry entirely before treating spots in more noticeable areas.
FAQ
What are solar shades?
Solar shades are window coverings made from a special fabric that blocks UV rays, reduces glare, and filters sunlight while maintaining an outdoor view. They improve energy efficiency by minimizing heat gain and protect interiors from sun damage.
Do solar shades block heat?
Yes, solar shades block heat by reflecting solar energy and reducing solar heat gain. The fabric’s tight weave helps minimize the amount of heat entering the room, making them effective at improving energy efficiency and comfort during hot weather.
Do solar shades provide privacy?
Yes, solar shades provide daytime privacy by preventing people from seeing inside while still allowing you to see outside. However, at night, they offer less privacy when interior lights are on, as the fabric becomes more transparent.
Do solar shades provide privacy at night?
Solar shades provide limited privacy at night. When interior lights are on, the fabric becomes more transparent, making it easier for people outside to see in. To maintain privacy, additional window coverings may be needed after dark.
How to clean solar shades?
To clean solar shades, use a soft cloth or a duster to remove dust. For deeper cleaning, lightly vacuum with a brush attachment or wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and soaking the fabric to prevent damage.
