Cleaning Your Blinds and Curtains
Here are some tips to prolong the life of your blinds.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean your blinds. Be careful when
cleaning your blinds.
Blinds can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner equipped with a
brush nozzle. Clean them carefully and be careful not to scratch them.

Cleaning your Venetian Blinds
Both blinds and curtains can become dusty over time. You can
extend the life of your blinds by cleaning them regularly with a vacuum cleaner
equipped with an upholstery attachment. If you feel like the fabric is
deteriorating, it's time to consider replacing your curtains. If the curtains
are lined, the only option is to have them cleaned.
If the curtains are washable, you need to be extra careful
and dry the freshly washed curtains so that they fit the window.
Loosen the tape guides and remove the hooks and weights. If
you are hand washing, use a mild detergent that does not contain bleach or
other additives that can alter the natural color of the fabric. Pour the
detergent into the water and make sure it is completely dissolved and that the
water temperature is correct before putting the curtains in. Squeeze the fabric
lightly and rinse thoroughly.
If you are machine washing them, follow the instructions on
the care label and be careful not to overload the machine. Visit also: Best

Cleaning Fabrics and Voiles
If you have mesh curtains or voiles, check the washing
instructions on the label. They may need to be hand-washed with a neutral
detergent. If you have left them for a long time and they look very dirty, you
should soak them thoroughly before washing to remove dust. A final rinse with
Glo-White or curtain bleach will make them shine. If you wash your curtains in
the washing machine, do not spin them too hard. If you hand wash them, leave
the water in a net or veil and wring it out. If you put it on a rack on a sunny
day, it will turn even whiter. Do not dry it completely, but leave it damp and
iron it cold.
Take the time to wash the windows as well and feel the
effect. Put them back in place and pat yourself on the back.
