                     Take Care of your 
Plantation Shutters
It is a wise investment 
but it is relatively big, so 
you have to take some 
effort
to keep them at its best.
The difficult task in 
taking care of the 
plantation shutter is to 
keep them
clean.  Otherwise, the 
dust and dirt will ruin the 
material.
The cleaning process differs 
depending on the type of 
material that is made. The 
real wood plantation shutters 
if painted well with the quality 
finish is easy to clean and 
maintain.
Use a dust cloth and 
clean the shutter at least 
once a month.
The faux plantation shutters 
are made of vinyl. Such 
indoor vinyl shutters should
be dusted at least once a 
week.
You can use either a soft 
brush or a vacuum cleaner 
hose to complete the task. 
Tilt the slats up and down 
to clean thoroughly.
Don’t forget to clean the top 
and bottom of the shutters.
Soap and water can be 
used for cleaning the vinyl 
shutters. Some industry 
experts recommend the 
use of distilled water to 
prevent spotting.
Dip a cloth in the water and 
soap mixture and clean the 
shutter.
Next, dip the cloth in 
normal water and clean 
the shutter to remove the 
soap residues. Use a 
toothbrush to remove dirt 
particles where you
can’t reach.
One big advantage of using a 
faux plantation shutter is that 
it can be used in
kitchens and bathrooms.
Plantation shutters are 
durable but you have to 
gentle in handling them. 
When opening and
closing twist the rod gently.
