Window Fashions That Won’t Collect Dust Near Omaha, NE
Window treatments transform how light enters your home, beautifying your space with soft, glowing light - light that not only accentuates the beauty of your interiors, but shows every speck of dust that clings to your box store blinds. If cleaning your current window treatments has you wanting to make a change, our experts can recommend Hunter Douglas options that let you appreciate everything your home’s natural light has to offer - no dusting required.
Dust Happens
Dust is a natural part of your home. It is a combination of indoor and outdoor contaminants like dirt, pollen, sand, and air particles that can’t be completely eliminated no matter how often you take a feather duster to your banisters. To make your home more dust-free, use window treatments that aren’t prone to collecting dust or that are easily wiped clean. Vinyl blinds are notorious for requiring a meticulous hand, as each slat will need to be dusted every few weeks to maintain a neat appearance. Furthermore, wooden window treatments can’t be cleaned with soap and water, or their natural materials will warp. Drapes, especially velvet drapes, act like air filters when your windows are open and accumulate with floating debris. Some window treatment fabrics will have to be placed in well-ventilated, lower-traffic rooms less exposed to dirt and grime in order to look their best.
Choosing the Right Treatment
However, don’t throw down your feather duster in despair. Hard window treatments attract less dust than soft ones, and hard window treatments constructed from manmade materials have the additional advantage of being simple to clean. For this reason, vertical blinds require some of the lowest maintenance. Their vertical slats don’t allow for so much dust collection and are easily wiped down. Fabric vanes can even be vacuumed for your cleaning convenience. Overall, vertical blinds make great alternatives to drapes in high-traffic rooms or on sliding glass doors. Some of our vertical blinds offerings include:
- Hunter Douglas Luminette® Sheer Panels
- Hunter Douglas Cadence® Vertical Blinds
- Hunter Douglas Somner® Vertical Blinds
- Hunter Douglas Vertical Solutions® Vertical Blinds
For smaller windows, faux wood or vinyl shutters can make a bold visual statement in your room. Shutters not only provide flexible light control and reliable durability, but their larger louvers are quicker to clean than tiny mini blind slats. Manmade materials like composite wood and vinyl are long-lasting and aren’t put in danger by soap and water. You can use a vacuum to dispose of the majority of your shutters’ dust, and then take a microfiber cloth wetted with white vinegar to wipe away the rest. Our faux wood and vinyl shutters include:
- Hunter Douglas NewStyle® Composite Shutters
- Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters
For a soft window treatment option, roller shades are protected from your home’s dust, dirt, and grime when rolled safely at the top of your window frame. Roller shades are simple window treatments to operate and clean: dust your treatments with the upholstery brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner, or gently wipe the fabric with a slightly damp cloth. Our roller shades include:
- Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades
- Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades
