Identify each covering
Record shutters, Venetian blinds, cellular shades or other products, with care information and control type. Hunter Douglas’s guidance identifies fabric exclusions and different permitted methods. Powered systems and fragile cords should remain within suitable handling limits. Distinguish light dust from staining or a mechanically damaged covering before quoting.
Set a careful installed scope
Agree whether the work is dry dusting, permitted vacuuming or limited product-compatible spot care. Immersion, steam and chemical cleaning are not default options. Protect nearby glass, painted trim and furniture. Safety devices and tension components should remain in place unless a suitable separately agreed task requires otherwise.
Review operation and limitations
Check listed coverings for ordinary dust and document stains or inaccessible folds left for specialist care. Do not alter travel limits, dismantle motors or treat cleaning as a repair. The household should know which fabrics and surfaces were included. This focused service can complement glass cleaning while preserving the covering’s controls and product restrictions.
Scope to discuss

- Separate specialist covering clean
- Accessible shutter-frame detailing
A few helpful answers.
Can every fabric shade be washed?
No. Check the actual product and fabric exclusions before proposing moisture or immersion.
Does dusting include repairing cords?
No. Controls and safety-related repair require a suitable separate service.
