MAINTAINING YOUR DRAPER FLEXSHADES”
Product: Motorized Shades/Dual Roller
Shades. Location: Mercantile Gallery Loft Condominiums, Louisville, KY.

CLEANING
Most of Draper’s standard fabrics may be cleaned at the window by vacuuming
with a soft brush attachment. They may also be cleaned by using a sponge or
soft cloth and mild solution of warm soapy water. A dishwashing liquid, such
as Ivory liquid, is recommended. A clean dry cloth is recommended for the
metal finish. Exceptions are Flocké and Phifer SW7000 fabrics, which must be
cleaned with a dry art sponge.
Left: Vacuuming with a soft brush attachment. Right: Cleaning with a soft
cloth/art sponge.
Caution: Be sure to steady fabric with one hand during cleaning. Be
careful not to jerk or place weight on the fabric. Depending on the
installation hardware and substrate, placing too much weight on the fabric
could result in mounting hardware being pulled loose.
LUBRICATION
Most window covering products manufactured by Draper, when properly installed,
should require no operational maintenance or lubrication. However, Idlers on
motorized shades may occasionally need lubrication. If lubrication is
required, apply a small amount of lithium-based grease direct to the idler
pin.
Applying a small amount of lithium-based grease direct to the idler pin.
Caution: Take care to avoid spilling lithium-based grease on shade fabric.
KEEPING ON TRACK
Both fiberglass and polyester yarns can sometimes mid-track–also known as telescoping or not running exactly square with the roller. This is easily remedied by placing a piece of high-quality gaffer tape about 1″ wide on the exposed roller (where the fabric will cover it) on the side that you want the fabric drawn toward.
DON’T BE FRAYED
Although Draper uses modern cutting techniques that reduce the likelihood of
frayed edges, any time a fabric is cut– whatever the method–there is a small
possibility of fraying after some time in the field, depending on the usage of
the product.
Polyester: In the event, that there is some fraying, repairs can be made
on polyester by careful use of heat/flame to melt the frayed pieces away.
Fiberglass: If fraying does occur, scissors can be used to trim the
fabric. Skimming fabric edges with a heavy-duty, low scratching scour pad is
also efficient. Because both fiberglass and polyester core yarns are white,
fraying is more visible in dark colors.
