Wind in the desert brings a fair amount of dust and debris into your home, whenever the door opens, or through your ventilation system.
However, polyvinyl shutters or even PolyCel make your cleaning job easier because their smooth surfaces and materials are easy to clean. The poly satin finish of polyvinyl shutters doesn’t stick to dust or debris, so a simple wipe with a cloth or duster will get the job done.
PolyCel shutters, made by Best Buy Shutters, are specifically designed to handle desert conditions. Even in the desert environment, you’ll only need to clean them once a month with a slightly damp microfiber cloth.
Las Vegas receives some of the sunniest weather in the entire country, and combined with the desert dusty air, you’ll battle several elements to keep your shutters maintained.
If you’re constantly dealing with shutters that fade, crack, or experience heat damage, you’ll need to switch over to hardwood or PolyCel shutters.
Hardwood shutters will handle sun exposure better than blinds or vinyl. Plus, the design has a better aesthetic that matches elegant or traditional home interior styles.
PolyCel blocks up to 99% of UV rays. Best Buy Shutters has worked with Las Vegas homeowners for over 40 years and engineered PolyCel to handle the harsh conditions of Las Vegas.
Because wood is more sensitive to chemicals and cleaning treatments, you’ll need to learn the proper care to maintain their finish and durability.
Always use a soft feather duster or microfiber cloth that won’t scratch or damage the wood. Start at the top and move your way down, cleaning each louver so the dust doesn’t fall onto sections you’ve already cleaned.
Avoid any harsh chemical cleaners or excessive water. Too much moisture or chemical exposure will break down the shutter’s finish and compromise the material’s integrity.
It’s also best to clean hardwood shutters at least twice a month to preserve their quality and keep their beautiful aesthetic.
Kitchen and bathrooms need shutters that can handle moisture, temperature changes, and everyday use.
Polyvinyl shutters are popular options for these areas because the material is more durable than hardwood, and they also have dual closing for complete light and heat control.
Composite shutters are another moisture-resistant kitchen or bathroom choice. The modern composite design removes the middle tilt bar for a contemporary look.
PolyCel works very well because of its advanced design, which is resistant to moisture, fading, warping, cracking, and breaking. The durable material lasts a lifetime without the need for replacement.
Dust levels in Las Vegas are high and accumulate in homes quickly. Keeping a simple cleaning routine will increase their lifespan and reduce the need for maintenance.
Give your Las Vegas shutters a light dusting every two or three weeks. We’ve found this works well for most homes. Wait any longer and the shutters become harder to clean and take more effort. You’ll also want to give your shutters a very thorough cleaning about once a month. That means cleaning the tilt bar and the thicker outer edge.
If your home is near a construction zone or busy road, you may need to increase the cleaning to once a week.
Choosing shutters that naturally perform better in the dusty, sunny weather conditions in Las Vegas will make your home life easier. You need shutters that resist dust, heat, and UV rays to spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your space.
Best Buy Shutters has served the community in and around Las Vegas for over 40 years and knows exactly what works best for each home. We’ve even specially engineered PolyCel shutters to withstand the harsh conditions.
