In addition to energy efficiency, Plantation shutters offer the convenience of easy maintenance. They are sturdy and can handle some friction, which means that many Plantation shutters can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner brush attachment.  You can also wipe them down with a cloth quite easily.  This presents an advantage over other window coverings because you won’t have to worry about damaging delicate materials or taking them apart to really get them clean.  This saves time and money in the long run. Additionally, the ability to thoroughly and effectively eliminate dust and other debris from your windows will help to keep your home clean and healthy.
