To make shades go up, the general process involves removing the shade from its brackets, tightly re-rolling the shade, and then re-installing it into the brackets.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Remove the shade from the brackets: This usually involves gently lifting or pressing on the shade to release it from the holding mechanisms. The specific method depends on the type of brackets used.
-
Tightly roll the shade back up: Manually roll the shade up as tightly as possible. This step is crucial for increasing the tension within the shade's mechanism.
-
Reinstall the shade into the brackets: Place the shade back into the brackets, ensuring it is securely held.
-
Test the Shade: Gently pull the shade to see if it now goes up smoothly. You may need to repeat the process if it still doesn't work correctly.
This process works because the shade mechanisms often rely on tension. Over time, the tension can decrease, causing the shade to get stuck. Re-rolling the shade increases the tension, allowing it to retract more effectively.
