New Ultrasonic Cleaning Guidelines For Luminette
There are a number of other
products that try to imitate the look and feel of Luminette Privacy
Sheers by inserting vertical blind vanes into a traditional sheer
or, basically wrapping a traditional sheer around a vertical
blind. From a distance, they seem to have a similar
appearance. While Luminette also combines the benefits
of vertical sheers, they do it in a much different way that makes
them clearly superior. Here are some of the more noticeable
advantages you'll find with Luminette
 No Pockets Or Inserted Slats
With Luminette Privacy Sheers, the vanes and the sheer are all one
piece. Luminette is a completely engineered product with it's
own unique hardware system and completely integrated design.
There are no vinyl vanes that need to be inserted into delicate
fabrics; no snaps or retainers of any type to hold heavy vinyl vanes
in place. This creates the most open view and a far more
attractive appearance than any vertical/sheer combination.
 Quick
And Easy Installation
Any Luminette sheer is one unified product doing
exactly what it is designed to do, rather than a combination of
unrelated products being taken beyond their design. Luminette is
consistently easy to install. It's always the same, rather than
using your choice of vertical blinds to combine with a sheer.
All you need to do is make sure your hands are clean! Since there
are no vanes to insert into pockets, there is no need to worry about
tearing or running the fabric. A Luminette Privacy Sheer can
typically be installed in just minutes. You'll stand back from
it, amazed at what you've accomplished in such a short time!
  Better Looking: Top To Bottom
Luminette sheers have a built-in
top treatment that provides a finished look and tailored
appearance and conceals the hardware system.
At the bottom you'll find a
clean and unfrayed
look without the large unsightly weighted hems
you'll find on traditional sheers. It looks great!
 Kind
of Fond of The Wand!
The combined wand and tethered cord was first introduced with
Luminette Privacy Sheers. The wand is rotated to tilt the
vanes. The tethered cord is pulled to draw the sheer open or
closed. When not in use, the entire wand and cord are tucked
slightly behind the Luminette and hidden from view.
This combined wand and cord is
used for all Luminette Privacy Sheers.

Since the introduction of
Luminette, we have recommended the injection/extraction cleaning
method for deep cleaning Luminette sheers. Now, after several months
of extensive testing, ultrasonic cleaning has also been approved.
Since all ultrasonic cleaners do not have the same equipment and/or
processes, we have developed the following questions that your
customers should ask the ultrasonic cleaner before contracting with
them for service.
Do you have experience
ultrasonically cleaning Luminette Privacy Sheers?
Cleaners with experience will
likely have the proper equipment and product knowledge. The
ultrasonic cleaning process requires removing the sheers from the
home and transporting them back to the cleaning facility. Luminette
sheers should be rolled on a tube for transport to minimize
wrinkling and damage.
Do you have a tank long enough
to accommodate the length of my sheer?
(This is the most important question to ask!)
The tank must be at least
as long as the height of the Luminette sheer to allow for cleaning
without folding and wrinkling the vanes.
Do you pre-treat stains?
Heavy stains should be gently
pre-treated, taking care not to rub and abrade the vane or face
fabrics.
How will you dry my Luminette
sheers?
Immediately after cleaning, sheers should be hung vertically with
the vanes in the open position and loops evenly spaced and formed.
Sheers should be allowed to drip-dry. When dry, sheers should be
rolled on a tube for transport back to the home.
The cleaner should hang and dry
the sheers immediately after cleaning. Under no circumstances should
sheers be allowed to remain submersed or wet for any extended period
of time.
How will wrinkles be removed?
After cleaning and re-hanging in
the home, any wrinkles should be gently steamed out. |
