Using your Galen Cordless Roman Shade is easy. Just use the cordless retraction mechanism to open and close the shade as needed throughout the day. When it comes to installation, you can hang it either inside or above the window pane right out of the package. Assembly is required, but there's a printed guide and an online video to help you out. For maintenance, you can spot - clean the shade by dusting it. If you want a deeper clean, you can detach the face fabric and give it a light shake. Remember, the top face fabric is detachable but not fully removable. Since it's OEKO - TEX certified, you don't have to worry about any harmful substances. Enjoy the privacy and energy - saving benefits this shade brings to your home!
