Discover eight misconceptions about hand cleaning blinds!
Misconception #1: Hand cleaning is as effective as ultrasonic cleaning window coverings.
No. Dirt is smeared and will leave a thin coating of residue film on the blinds. Hand cleaning can't clean the dirt microscopically in the crevices. Hand cleaning cannot reach the intricate parts such as deep inside the head-rail of your blinds. I guess an industrious person can use a tooth brush! How practical would that be? Hand cleaning creates static electricity by friction causing the surfaces to attract dirt more quickly after it dries. Hand cleaning is more prone to experience more broken and malfunctioning parts related to aggressive cleaning and improper mishandling.

Misconception #2: I should replace window covering instead of cleaning them.
Okay, let's get real: to replace your window covering is cost-prohibitive. Logic dictates the longer you wait to clean your window coverings the more airborne contamination will settled on them. By cleaning your window coverings once a year it will ensure longevity and improve the indoor air quality for your dwelling.
Misconception #3: Hand cleaning leaves no residue.
Not true! All cleaning compounds leave a residue. If I cleaned your window coverings with plain water it would have a residue. What really matters is does it leave a soil-attracting residue? Vanguard Blind Cleaning uses a cleaning compound designed for window coverings and a specially formulated rinsing agent that neutralizes the static cling on your window coverings. It leaves no soil-attracting residue! You can't purchase this product at the nearest supermarket. It must be shipped from the manufacturer.
Misconception #4: Cleaning agents are all the same.
Most blind cleaners use cleaning products found at your local supermarkets or hardware stores. Those cleaning products aren't formulated to work inside a stainless steel tank media. They leave a villainous soil-attracting residue on your window coverings that result in them rapidly getting dirty. I was surprised to discover that so many blind cleaners in the area don't want to pay high shipping charges for quality cleaning compound. The specially formulated window covering solutions release the unwanted contaminants. In essence, the window cleaning solutions are superior and are designed to work with the soundwaves through the cavitation process.
Misconception #5: You save money when you clean them yourself.
Yes, it's true that the care and maintenance manual says to wash your expensive blinds in your master bath Roman tub. Maybe they should have told you to turn on the jacuzzi while they're inside there soaking. How practical is that? Secondly, will they guarantee they will repair the damage to the porcelain perimeter of your Roman tub? Another great idea, why not take them outside on your patio or driveway to clean? But, then you're cleaning will have no better results than hand cleaning. I have heard all the horror stories about bleach and asphalt cleaning solutions being used on window coverings. Guess what? The wife finally got her wish for new window coverings! Lastly, the husband was of no earthly good the rest of the weekend after cleaning them. Leave the cleaning to Vanguard Blind Cleaning we will have them cleaned in a jiffy to free time to enjoy your family!
Misconception #6: They will get dirty quicker if I clean them.
Not true! Every time you open your doors and windows it creates low pressure. If your window coverings are closed air will circulate by way of air conditioning. The thermo draft will carry all types of oily smoke from cooking, dry soot from fireplaces, and allergen's settling on your window coverings eventually. The longer you wait to have your window coverings cleaned, the more incremental damage is done from fine dirt particulate matter cutting short the longevity and causing premature wearing. Regular cleaning extends the longevity of your window coverings
Misconception #7: Hand cleaning can whiten the strings
Not true! The ladders and pull cord will not whiten as a result of hand cleaning period. Why? Can you hand clean your laundry as well as your front loader washing machine? Ultrasonic blind cleaning uses immersion to break-up locked in soiling leaving your window coverings cleaner than other hand cleaning methods.

Fresh out of the sonic tank, notice the faux wood sample on the left. The pull cord and ladders are thoroughly cleaned. |
Misconception #8: Hand cleaning is better than ultrasonic cleaning.
Ridiculous! That's like saying hand cutting your grass with clippers is better than cutting it with a mower. It's like saying walking to work is better then driving there. You can't begin to compare the dissimilarities to ultrasonically cleaning your window coverings.
 |
Nothing compares to immersing your window coverings inside a stainless steel tank! |
Hand cleaning can't clean the microscopic crevices in your window coverings. Don't be surprised if you're disappointed with hand cleaning. Yes, you might save money, but have you? How much are you worth an hour? Ultrasonic non-abrasive cleaning penetrates deep into the hard to reach crevices to release the trapped contaminants.
No other method even comes close to its effectiveness! Leave it to the professionals at Vanguard Blind Cleaning and avoid being dissatisfied with the do-it-yourself cleaning procedures.

The final step is separating the window coverings. |
