How to Clean Roller Blinds

Motorized roller blinds are easy to clean and can be done in a variety of ways. They can be vacuumed and washed with warm, soapy water without being removed for regular cleaning. You can remove the blind and soak it in the bath for a deep clean; we cover how to clean roller blinds using both of these methods below.

Our roller blinds, which are for sale are currently discounted and incredibly popular as highly practical, versatile, and stylish window decoration, which is why we frequently get asked how to clean roller blinds. Roller blinds, like any other piece of furniture in your home, require regular cleaning and maintenance. Roller blinds, like everything else in the house, collect dust.

Cleaning Schedule

• Step 1: Raise the blinds

Extend the blinds completely to ensure that you can clean the entire surface.

• Step 2: vacuum the material

Begin vacuuming your blinds with the brush attachment, moving the brush from left to right, beginning at the top and working your way down. Vacuuming is an important step in cleaning your blinds because it removes dirt and debris that may have gotten caught on them before wiping or washing them. If you go straight in with water, you risk simply moving dirt around rather than cleaning it thoroughly.

• Step 3: Fill a bowl halfway with dishwashing detergent and lukewarm water

Using about a tablespoon of soap and about a litre of water, combine until the water becomes sudsy. Use of harsh chemicals or bleach can discolour the blinds! Immerse a dishtowel or sponge in the water and wring it out to remove any excess water.

• Step 4: Clean the Blinds

Wipe the blinds back and forth, beginning at the top and working your way down. Larger stains should be removed with a more vigorous scrub. Continue to rinse your sponge as you go to ensure it is as clean as possible.

• Step 5: Remove the Stain

A fabric stain remover can be used to remove any tough stains that do not come off with soapy water. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. You can always test the stain remover on a small top section of the blind.

• Step 6: Allow Time to Dry

Because the blinds were not saturated, they will dry quickly. Allow them to dry completely before retracting them.

You can soak deep set stains or blinds in a bathtub if they require a little time and attention.

Deep Cleaning

• Step 1: Fill the bath with detergent and water

Fill a bowl similarly to how you would for lighter cleaning tasks. To account for the extra water, add a little more detergent.

• Step 2: Allow the Blinds to Soak

Place the blinds in the bath and soak for about 2-3 hours.

• Step 3: Clean the Blinds

Scrub the blinds clean with a soft-bristled brush. Don't forget to do both the front and back of the blinds.

• Step 4: Drain and rinse the water

Drain the dirty bath water and rinse the blinds with clean water to ensure all dirt is removed.

Special Cleaning-Moulds

The best method for cleaning roller blinds is determined by how dirty your blinds are. In some cases, such as mould, stronger cleaners or professional assistance may be required. Mould thrives in moist, warm conditions. If you have fabric roller blinds in your bathroom or kitchen, they may mould if not properly dried out. If window blinds become wet due to constant condensation on the windows, mould can grow.

It is critical to avoid mould build up as much as possible in order to make cleaning roller blinds easier. If your blinds get wet, make sure to dry them quickly. You can speed up the drying process by using a hairdryer, leaving a window open for ventilation, or running a fan.

If your blinds become extremely wet — say, because you forgot to close the window and a rainstorm blew through — you can remove them from the headrail to completely dry. Before remounting the blinds, place the fabric on a drying rack and make sure to dry the rest of the blinds, including the headrail and mechanisms.

If mould has grown on your blinds, you can have the fabric removed by a dry cleaner. You can also use a fabric-safe cleaning agent that is designed to remove mould spores. White vinegar and lemon juice can be used to kill mould spores and remove stains from blinds without harming the fabric.
