Verosolfabrics are also easy to maintain, dust can be removed with a soft feather duster or vacuuming with a soft brush at the lowest position. When intensive cleaning is required the colored (room) side can be cleaned with a wet cloth. NEVER use an alcohol or ammonia-based cleaner (such as Windex) on Verosol fabrics or allow those cleaners to come into contact with the silver side of the shade. Verosol fabrics cannot be ultrasonically cleaned.
Both situations must be addressed within a week or the fabric may develop a memory for the wrong position (hour glassing if allowed to hang free, or the zipper folding over) and will require purchase of a replacement panel.If it is determined that a factory defect caused it, if reported before 60 days from receipt of the original order, replacement parts and shipping are free. If reported 61 days or more after receipt of the original order, replacement parts are free BUT YOU PAY SHIPPING.MOTORS
Sponge with a solution of one cup mild detergent with one cup household bleach in three gallons of water. Avoid rubbing too hard. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and air dry by hanging shade in a roll down position. If you see mildew on the fabric or do not see any but know it is a problem in your area periodically scrub or sponge the fabric with a commercial mildew remover or 1 part bleach to 3 parts water and rinse thoroughly. Avoid skin and eye contact when working with bleach solutions.
The tracks or cables must be hosed down on a regular basis to make sure they are clear of dirt and debris before lifting or lowering the shade, or it will not function correctly. Not doing so will void the warranty. If installed high up or on a second story, any equipment or labor needed for the initial installation could be needed for cleaning. We do not cover such labor costs.
For Citadel Zipper Track shades, lubricate the zippers and PVC inserts or the extruded zipper channel (as applicable) inside the rails with a dry silicone spray regularly to ensure smooth operation. Video: How to Lubricate Citadel Tracks This is the lubricant recommended:

Since it is very pliable, vinyl can easily be scratched and caution needs to be exercised when working with the material. Make sure that you can remove any insect screens you have in the openings so you can clean both sides of the vinyl.
Clear vinyl should be cleaned regularly to remove dirt. Abrasive cleaners cannot be used on window vinyl. Cleaning should be done with a mild vinyl cleaner or basic mild neutral soap such as Ivory or Lux mixed with lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly with water. Do Not Use Detergents.
Use the IMAR 313 Clear Vinyl Clean & Protect provided with your shades to help protect the vinyl and help it operate well in humid conditions. Once or twice a year is usually sufficient; apply when vinyl appears dull. To use, shake container well. Spray on lightly. Wipe off and buff with clean cloth. (Do not use paper towels). If installed high up or on a second story, any equipment or labor needed for the initial installation could be needed for cleaning. We do not cover such labor costs.

The best way to maintain the optical clarity of film shades is to avoid the dust adhesion caused by the natural static that occurs with all mylar shades. We recommend a light feather dusting on a regular basis. It helps to spray an anti-static aerosol on the dusting implement. Look for electronic anti-static sprays such as 3M and Endust for Electronics, available at home improvement centers, hardware stores and cleaning supply companies.
