CARE TIPS

Proper care keeps your blinds looking their best for years.

Here’s how to clean and maintain the different types of blinds we supply and install.

General Tips

• Dust regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster
• Avoid harsh chemicals which can damage fabrics and finishes
• Test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first

Extra Care Advice

• Check cords, chains, and mechanisms regularly
• Never tug on cords or force blinds that aren’t moving smoothly
• For any major repairs, contact us – our team is happy to help

Venetian Blinds

• Close the slats and wipe with a dry microfibre cloth or duster
• For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth (avoid soaking wood)
• Never use abrasive cleaners on metal slats

Fabric, Roller & Roman Blinds

• Vacuum gently using a low suction setting and upholstery brush
• Spot clean stains with mild soapy water and a soft sponge
• Avoid fully submerging fabric blinds in water

Vertical Blinds

• Remove louvres and lay them flat if needed
• Wipe with a damp cloth or use a gentle vacuum
• If fabric is machine washable, wash on a cool cycle, hang to dry

Perfect Fit & Pleated Blinds

• Clean frames and louvers with a soft cloth
• For fabric pleated blinds, gently dust or vacuum
• Avoid using excessive moisture on pleats to prevent losing shape
