How our blind cleaning process works
Ahwatukee Window Coverings, Up Close
Windows facing the mountain take the most. Shutters and faux wood blinds hold a gritty layer along every edge, and kitchen blinds add cooking film on top. Each is cleaned by material, wands and headrails included.
Monsoon storms reach Ahwatukee across open desert on the side away from the mountain, and they push fine dust in through window tracks. That dust lands first on bottom rails and the lower slats nearest the sill. A cleaning in early fall, once storm season ends, clears it before it bonds to the surface.
Many coverings in Mountain Park Ranch and Lakewood date to the original build or an early remodel. After decades of tilting, cords fray, ladder strings wear, and older cellular shades lose their crispness. Every piece is checked before it is cleaned, then hand cleaned if it is sound. That kind of blind cleaning protects the coverings worth keeping and tells you plainly which ones have reached the end.

Common Questions
How quickly can you get to Ahwatukee?
Fast. Most visits here land within the same week. Pick your time when you book online.
Are older cellular shades worth cleaning?
Yes, when the fabric is sound. Cleaning clears dust from the cells and the face of the shade. Fabric that has gone brittle or split from sun is past cleaning, and you hear that before any work begins.
Can you clean ladder strings on older blinds?
Yes. Ladder strings and lift cords are cleaned along with the slats, since they hold the same dust and hand oil. Strings that have frayed or rotted from sun are flagged rather than cleaned.
Should I clean or replace faux wood blinds?
Clean them if the slats lie flat and the tilt and lift still work. Faux wood that looks tired is almost always just dirty underneath. Replace when slats are warped, cracked, or sun-yellowed through, since cleaning cannot change the material itself.
Can pet hair be cleaned off blinds and shades?
Yes. Dog and cat hair clings to slat edges, wands, and fabric shades at nose height, and it binds with dust into a felted layer. Hand cleaning lifts it from hard slats and pulls it out of cellular and roller fabric without pilling the surface.
