How to wash fabric roller blinds

First of all, you need to learn the rule for yourself: it is extremely undesirable to wash fabric roller blinds! During manufacture, they are treated with a special solution that prevents contamination. This protection is washed out during washing. But there are times when wet cleaning of fabric curtains is necessary. If you can’t do without it, remember important tips:

• partial cleaning of roller blinds without removing. It is only possible in the case of slight contamination. In such a situation, it is necessary to moisten and lightly wipe the stains with a damp sponge and neutral detergent. After this procedure, it is important to rinse well the cleaning agent from the surface with a clean sponge and dry the cloth.

• if a complete washing of the roller shutter is required, the product must be removed from the holder, laid out in the bathroom and carefully applied to the entire surface with a neutral detergent diluted with water. In this case, the surface should not be rubbed strongly. After processing, the detergent must be well rinsed and the curtain must be laid out in a horizontal position to dry. Ironing the product is prohibited!

Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that washing fabric curtains is a delicate job, so it is important to properly care for them, avoiding heavy dirt.

In order for fabric curtains to last a long time and look like new, they must be carefully looked after. There are several important principles to remember here:

• do not purchase a budget version of fabric roller blinds. The cheaper the material, the less the finished product is impregnated with a special solution that repels dust;

• the use of curtains made of fabric is prohibited near heating devices, in rooms with high humidity and high degree of pollution;

• when cleaning the room or washing the windows, it is advisable to fold the fabric curtains into a protective tube;

• even knowing how to wash roller blinds, it is still better to periodically clean them with a soft nozzle of a vacuum cleaner, and in serious cases – give them to specialists for dry cleaning.
