The best cleaning method depends on the material and style of blind, as each product responds differently to dust, moisture and household cleaning products.
Roller blinds are usually cleaned by gently wiping the fabric with a soft damp cloth. Light vacuuming with a brush attachment can also help remove dust.
Venetian blinds can be cleaned by closing the slats and wiping each side with a microfibre cloth or duster. Faux wood and aluminium slats are especially easy to maintain because they tolerate gentle wiping well.
Roman blinds should be vacuumed carefully using a low setting and soft attachment. Because the fabric folds when raised, dust can collect along the pleats.
Day & night blinds benefit from light vacuuming or gentle dusting to avoid damaging the layered fabric.
Shutters are usually maintained with a dry or slightly damp cloth, paying attention to the louvre edges and frame.
Choosing the right blind for each room can make long-term maintenance much easier. During a free consultation, we often help customers compare fabrics and finishes based on how much upkeep they want day to day.
