Are you looking for a way to clean your roller blinds? Well, it’s not that hard. Roller blinds are one of the easiest blinds to clean due to their adaptable fabrics. Roller blinds are usually made from Polyester or PVC materials, which is why they are often used in kitchen areas and bathrooms. They are also one of the easiest blinds to clean because of this as you can wipe them down with a damp cloth, and don’t have to worry about damaging them, or creating damage through moisture.
What are Roller blinds?
Roller blinds are a type of window blind that can be used to filter or block out light. They are also used to create privacy and shade windows. Roller blinds come in various sizes and styles, some of which can be hung on the window itself, others which need to be mounted on the wall or ceiling. The fabric choice is endless, if you love bold patterns such as stripes or floral patterns, or simpler designs, then roller blinds are for you.
Roller blinds are hung using a bracket system that attaches to the window frame, and can be easily installed at home.
How to clean your Roller blinds
Cleaning is a great way to keep your blinds looking beautiful and new. You can do it yourself, but if you’re not sure about how to clean roller blinds, then it’s best to hire someone who knows what they’re doing.
The first step is to hoover out any dust or debris that may have collected on the bottom of your roller blinds. Next, use a damp cloth (or paper towel) to wipe down the fabric, this will help remove any grime or dirt from within the fabric itself. Once you’ve finished wiping down with a damp cloth or paper towel, use another wet cloth or paper towel again but this time use warm water instead of cold water! This will ensure that any remaining grime comes off easily without damaging – which would just make matters worse than anything else!
There are also other options when cleaning your blinds, see below:
1.Hoover the blinds
Using a hoover with a brush attachment can help get rid of any dirt or dust that has settled on them. Once you’ve done this, make sure that you dry off both sides of your roller blinds by using an clean towel or cloth and wiping away any water drops left behind. The brush attachment is perfect for removing dust from the blinds themselves.
2.Dust them
If you have the time, it’s best to use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove dust from your roller blinds. If you don’t have time for this step but still want to get rid of any grime, try hoovering them first! You can also get blind dusters that are made from microfiber materials that are blind friendly – perfect if you’re nervous about cleaning them, or it’s your first time doing it!
3.Use a damp cloth
Damp cloths are best for cleaning roller blinds. If you have one, use it! You can also use a wet cloth and rub gently over the surface of your blinds to remove any stains or marks left by dirt build-up. Just make sure not to use too much water so that you don’t ruin any of the fabrics in need of cleaning; otherwise, this step may require multiple applications (and lots of work).
Top tip: ensure the water is warm but not too hot! Boiling water can cause damage to fabrics.
4.Removing mould
If your blinds have starting to gain a little bit of mould due to condensation, there are a number of ways you can remove it. Start by gently brushing the moluld patch with a brush or spot treat with a specialist fabric detergent.
Then you’re going to want to leave your blind to air dry after cleaning to help prevent further outbreaks or smells from forming.
You can easily clean your roller blinds by following these tips
- Vacuum the blinds, dust them and use a damp cloth to wash them. This will help remove any dirt or debris that may be stuck in the corners of your roller blinds.
