So, real wood window blinds are fine and can be in use for many years. But they have a shortcoming. They don’t bear extreme temperatures and moisture, discolor even though the wood is sealed, therefore can’t be used in a kitchen or a bathroom. In that case pay attention to faux wood window blinds which represent a composite of man-made materials and natural timber particles. It is a perfect alternative because their properties are inferior to natural treatments and even better in many respects. Among their advantages are lower cost, versatility, and warp and temperature resistance. Besides, more color tints are available.
The cleaning of natural stuffs forbids the usage of water and washers. Use soft dust clothes, feather duster or vacuum brush and never wash. Man-made materials, in their turn, can be cleaned with humid clothes.
