Cleaning Exterior Motorized Shades
If you've been in Texas very long, you know the dust can blow around, and one of the places it can settle is your exterior shades. Add in some cottonwoods and other trees in the area, and you'll need to plan on a little minimal cleaning.
Basic Maintenance
Besides occasional, regular cleaning to remove any accumulated dust, leaves, and other debris that may have gathered, you should raise and lower your shades on occasion to ensure the motors remain well lubricated.
Basic Cleaning
Most of the time, a soft-bristled brush and similar broom will do the trick, allowing you to gently and quickly remove any dust and debris. A cordless hand vacuum can also come in handy after you've brushed or swept the shades, allowing you to collect any of the small bits that may have been left behind. If any spots need additional care, a soft sponge and a little mild hand or dish soap can help — rinse carefully and leave your shades down to air dry. If you hose down your screens when deeper cleaning is needed, be careful not to spray the motor area and avoid high-pressure sprays.
