HOW TO CLEAN TIMBER SHUTTERS

  1. Remove dust on your shutters: Use a duster or a microfibre cloth to simply remove any visible dust. Be sure to remove dust from both the bottom and top of each timber blade to ensure you remove it all. 
  2. Vacuum the hard to reach places: Use your soft brush attachment to vacuum the bottom of your shutters along the window ledge. Using a soft brush will protect scratching and marking your timber shutters.
  3. Cleaning stains: Using water or a damp cloth can cause water marks on timber shutter, so only use a damp cloth as a last resort to clean off any marks. To do so, simply mix a small amount of white vinegar and water to wipe of your stains. Be sure to apply sparingly to your cloth (keep it very damp, but not wet) and dry it off straight away to avoid water marks being left behind.
