What are the three basic categories of window treatments?

• <div><p>Window treatments fall under the categories of hard, soft, and layered. <i>Hard</i> refers to stiff, formed treatments that include window blinds and shutters. <i>Soft</i> refers to cloth window treatments that include drapes and curtains.

Q: When should you replace your blinds?

• <div><p>You should replace your blinds every six to eight years, depending on the level of wear and tear and material of your blinds. Blinds that are warped or bent become difficult to open and close and usually harder to repair than they are to replace. Old blinds with frayed or exposed cords can also pose a safety hazard if young children are around.</p></div>

Q: How can I darken my windows without curtains?

• <div><p>To darken your windows without curtains, try installing window film or even installing an awning outside your windows. Window film is a DIY-friendly option with many different darkness levels you can choose from to fit your desired look. Awnings can also help by casting shade over your window, though this isn&rsquo;t feasible for every home. </p></div>

Q: Can I clean blinds or shades myself?

• <div><p>DIY cleaning is possible but may not remove deep dust, stains, or allergens as effectively as professional methods.</p></div>

Q: How often should blinds or shades be replaced to maintain aesthetics and functionality?

• <div><p>Life expectancy varies by material and usage but typically requires replacement every 5-7 years to maintain visual appeal and operational efficiency.</p></div>
