Resene Blockout Roller Blind

To keep our blinds in prime condition, we recommended light cleaning once a week, with a deeper clean undertaken once a month.

Whether you have fabric, PVC or aluminium blinds, the process for light cleaning is the same:

• Use a soft cloth or hand vacuum with a brush head to remove dust and loose dirt
• If your blinds have slats, start with them tilted upwards first

For deeper cleaning, PVC and aluminium blinds should be removed for careful washing:

• Place the blind in a bathtub or outside area
• Wash each slat with a warm water sponge or brush (remember to wash the cords too)
• Do not submerge the blinds and avoid water entering the exposed mechanisms
• Rinse the blinds and hang them over a shaded clothesline or internal shower rail
• When they are completely dry, wipe down with a fabric softener sheet

If you have fabric blinds, a different deep cleaning process is recommended:

• Use a dry duster or soft-cloth to gently remove dust and loose dirt
• On visible marks, dab a damp sponge on the affected area
• If the mark persists, try a pencil eraser first (when dry) and then dabbing after

If you have any questions about cleaning your blinds, please contact us for advice.
