How do you clean pleated window shades?

I have pleated window shades, with the inside material unknown - probably a
polyester blend - the outer shade is a mylar-type material, which blocks light;
these shades really need cleaning - especially the inside part. Help!

If you do not know what the material is ,I would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer as I for one do not want to give the wrong info.If that is not a possibility.If that does not work I would try to find similar fabrics for any care instructions
First I would try vacuuming and see what happens. The mylar type side can be wiped down with a soft cloth.

Not sure what you mean by inside and outside...are you referring to the side that faces the interior of the house and the side that faces outside? If so, a good vacuuming is best. If you are referring to the area between the two layers of fabric, I don't have any idea how you would get in there.
