Cleaning vertical blinds???

joeyp

Hi all,

Hope this is in the right place :think:

I have cream vertical blinds (not out of choice - I'm a tenant!) and they are looking pretty grubby tbh.

I have been told that they can go in the washing machine on a very cool wash, but don't fancy risking that if I've been advised wrongly - could do without having to replace them!! :eek:

Any tips on the best way to get them clean again, please?

Thank you :)

I thread a string though the little eyelets at the top and wash them in the bath. After rinsing I use a bowl to catch the drips and carry them outside, where I use the string to tie it to the washing line.

I dont strip off all the weights or anything thy all get a wash. I put them back up slightly damp and the odd creases just fall out x

PS i use hand hot water and washing powder x

We have to do our conservatory blinds a couple of times a year. We smoke in our conservatory so they get
a bit yacky to be honest.

Warm water and stardrops (normal or with ammonia) in the bath, leave them overnight, hang them on the line and they come up absolutely brilliant
