CLEANING PLANTATION SHUTTERS

Interior window shutters gain dust like any other window treatment that is why you need to clean them frequently. You can take a dry cloth or a microfiber cloth to wipe off the dust. Even a vacuum cleaner with a dry brush attachment can be used to clean each slat. Start from the top slat and keep cleaning until you reach bottom.

If you notice some dirt build up in the corner or hinges of the window shutter, use an old toothbrush.
