face mounted by utilising an outside extension leg to fit to inside fitting bracket.

a minimum amount of soapy water.
NOTE: The metallised surface of a Verosol pleated shade may be affected by insect deposits. Deposits should
be removed, as per care instructions, to reduce damage to metallisation.
PLEATED SHADES
Verosol Shades may be washed but great care should be taken.
• Do not crush the fabric
• Do not spin or tumble dry
• Hang up the shade and saturate the cloth gently using a sponge with a solution of mild soapy water. AVOID
the use of of cleansers which contain alkalines, ammonia and/or bleach.
• Rinse off the soapy water with a gentle water spray
• Dry the shade on the window. (Place a towel on the sill floor)
• Do not scrub the fabric
• You may wash your Verosol Shade in the bath as long as the bath is perfectly clean and contains no traces
of alkalines, ammonia and/or bleach and you do not crimp or crumple the fabric
