Caring for Blinds in Philadelphia: Facts about Cleaning Wooden Blinds


"An efficient way to make sure that each slat is thoroughly cleaned is to keep all the blinds closed in one side, only tilting it to the opposite side once you’re done with the other. Use a stepladder or any other sturdy platform to climb up and reach the top areas of the blinds. Hanging on to the blinds themselves to support your body’s weight is ill-advised. Companies like Allure Window Treatments can help you by providing efficient window treatments for Philadelphia homes, but without your help in caring for their products, your investment will only go to waste. Make sure that you know the right way to clean your blinds, whether they’re made of wood, metal, or vinyl."

Choosing Blinds in Philadelphia—Why Wooden Blinds are the Right Choice


"A practical advantage of wooden blinds over their plastic counterparts is that they provide more privacy. Although all plastic blinds can obscure the view from outside, they are often so thin that it is still possible to see outlines of people and furnishings inside your home. With wood blinds, their inherent thickness comes into play again, so the view is completely blocked, making it possible for you to enjoy complete privacy. All this advantages clearly make wooden blinds the winning choice. With its ability to make a space cozier and accommodating, no other type of blind fits a home in the City of Brotherly Love as perfectly; your interior will definitely seem warmer with these excellent options for Philadelphia window treatments in place."
