Blind Cleaning: What Blinds and How?
Blinds make a beautiful addition to the home decor. With so many variations, homeowners are spoilt with choice when it comes to decorating their windows and doors. Blinds not only provide style to your home but they also help control the light entering a room. Whether you have indoor or outdoor blinds, you will need to clean them to maintain their longevity as well as the cleanliness of your house.
Regular blind cleaning helps prevent discoloration, a build up of grime, or mould growth. If you have blinds in your home, depending on the type, there are different ways to clean them to prevent damage.
1. Vertical Blinds
Vertical blinds are a popular choice in many homes and they can be made out of different materials from metal to plastic and sometimes even a fabric. Cleaning vertical blinds is important, and you can do so using a duster or soft cloth to wipe them down.
2. Venetian Blinds
These blinds typically sit horizontal on the window and can be made from wood, plastic, or even metal. For these blinds, you will need to remove them from the wall and wash them with soapy water.
3. Shutters
Shutters made from vinyl are easy to clean and require that you wipe them down with a damp cloth. Dusting them often can help keep them clean as well.
4. Roman Shades
Roman shades should be regularly cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. You should use a roller brush attachment on the vacuum. If these shades become stained, you will need to try to spot clean them.
5. Fabric Blinds
If your blinds are made from fabric, the best way to clean them is by using a vacuum or duster. If you do notice any stains, you can attempt to clean them with warm soapy water.
