How to Clean Vinyl Window Shutters
We’re in the midst of springtime and summer seemingly at our doorstep. Now is the best time to clean your window treatments, including interior shutters. Keeping your vinyl shutters for windows tidy makes your home look fresh and welcoming.
Our Curtain Concepts team compiled this guide to help you learn how to clean vinyl window shutters in your home. With these four simple steps, you can keep your window treatments looking fabulous all year round.
1. Adjust the Louvers of Your Interior Shutters
Before you start cleaning, tilt the louvers of your vinyl interior shutters almost all the way down so you can make the most of the surface space without allowing dust to find a place to settle along the way.
2. Dust Your Vinyl Shutters for Windows
Use a feather duster, dusting mitt, or microfiber cloth to brush loose dust from the shutters. This step is less daunting when it becomes a habit and part of your regular cleaning routine to keep your vinyl shutters looking their best.
For a deeper clean, use your vacuum cleaner brush or a handheld vacuum and gently run it across the louvers to remove dust.
3. Gently Clean Your Vinyl Interior Shutters
Using mild soap and lukewarm water, gently wipe down your vinyl shutters. However, it’s best to avoid using ammonia or other chemical solvents on your vinyl shutters because they can damage the surface, potentially leaving behind scratches.
Additionally, if you’re washing the windows behind your shutters during this task, spray a towel and wipe them down. If you spray the window, the chemical could splash back at the shutter and damage them.
4. Reduce Any Static on Your Vinyl Interior Shutters
To finish cleaning, whip out your favorite dryer sheets and carefully wipe them across each louver. This extra step reduces static cling and repels dust, keeping the louvers looking fresher longer.
