Steve-Gwenne Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 We have a June 2017 [#224] Elite II. The blinds are in desperate need of a cleaning, especially the fabric. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this? Thank you. 1 SGC & GRC Hull 224 [2017] 2017 GMC Sierra HD Crew Cab Diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geronimo John Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Using a Swiffer may help remove some of the dust. These blinds are pretty fragile so I would not want to hose them down.

Moderators SeaDawg Posted March 20, 2023 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2023 I vacuum the blinds with my dyson, and the brush fabrics tool. I do have one mosquito spot that I've not tried to get rid of. I left it, to remind my husband to not kill mosquitos on the shades. Maybe someday I'll try, but it's been there over ten years.... 3 2 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Florida and Western North Carolina, or wherever the truck goes.... 400 watts solar.

Katjo Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I vacuum them, then use a damp microfiber towel and wipe them down. 1 2 2021 Dodge Ram 1500 2021 Oliver Elite ll Hull #732 Michigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators topgun2 Posted March 9 Moderators Share Posted March 9 While recently repairing a broken string in one of my shades I noticed "black" areas where the TV had rubbed against the "night" shade during travel. I started trying to clean it with "Simple Green" but that had no effect. So, I got a paper towel and Acetone. Very carefully and lightly I started wiping the black areas of the shade and the marks came off! There was no noticeable change in color or tone - I have the old off-white colored shades. I then wiped the rest of the shade with a damp sponge and light Simple Green. They now look like new.

jd1923 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I had ours out upon a deep clean when we first purchased our older used hull. Sprayed them with a hose, fine mist setting thoroughly. Then I used compressed air mainly in the corners. Let them sit in the sun (think sunny day task) and later just snapped them in place. They are as clean as could be! 1 3 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
