Blinds can make any room look polished—but only if they’re clean and well-kept. The good news? Keeping your blinds in top shape doesn’t take much time. Whether you have roller, vertical, or panel glide blinds, here’s how to keep them looking fresh.

For Blockout & Textured Roller Blinds

These fabrics are durable but still need gentle care.

To clean:

• Use a soft cloth or vacuum with a brush attachment
• Wipe gently with warm soapy water (mild detergent)
• Avoid soaking or harsh scrubbing

To maintain:

• Gently roll them up daily to avoid creasing
• Keep away from excess moisture (e.g., steam from kitchens or bathrooms)

For Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds collect dust along the slats, especially near doors and windows.

To clean:

• Wipe slats with a microfibre cloth from top to bottom
• For deeper cleans, unclip individual slats and gently clean in warm soapy water
• Let them air-dry flat—don’t wring or tumble-dry

To maintain:

• Check chains and weights regularly for tangling or damage
• Keep slats open during the day to prevent warping

Tip: Avoid twisting slats too aggressively—it can damage the track.

Tip: Roll the blind all the way down before cleaning for easier access.

Regular Maintenance Checklist (Monthly)

✔ Dust or wipe down surfaces
✔ Spot-clean any new marks
✔ Inspect chains, cords, and slats
✔ Keep blinds rolled neatly when not in use
✔ Avoid direct contact with wet windows
