Here’s How You Can Keep Your Outdoor Window Shades Working Optimally Throughout Summer

There is such great merit in investing in outdoor window shades. While millions of South Africa live for our summer months, where they can soak up the sun and climate with ease and spend endless hours outdoors, it can be quite taxing on us to be exposed to constant sunshine. Outdoor blinds can add another dimension of joy to our outdoor living spaces, and give us a break from the constant sun exposure.

These blinds can also help prolong the lifespan of our patio and outdoor furniture, by doing what they’re designed to do and taking the bulk of direct sun exposure. By doing so, you protect your furniture and carpeting from fading in the sun, and you thereby expand their lifespan as well.

Maintaining Your Beautiful Outdoor Window Shades Throughout Summer

window shades throughout South Africa’s warmer months. For one, you will definitely need a different approach to the maintenance you use for your indoor shades.

Obviously, you will want to buy outdoor blinds that are primed for weather resistance. If you choose a material such as wood for your outdoor window shades, it’s worth mentioning that you should stay up to date with its maintenance. It might require a resealing at some stage in future, in order to ensure it remains completely water resistant.

It’s also worth avoiding letting dust and grime settle on your outdoor shades’ slats. This is because this grime has the potential of scratching and hurting your slats’ finishing. This is the last thing you want, so avoid it happening by using a non-abrasive material to wipe it down with lukewarm water. Always make sure to dry the slats thoroughly, and keep your blinds in prime operational condition.

Don’t Use Harsh Chemicals on Your Outdoor Window Shades
