Blinds are gaining great popularity among modern owners. If an early blinds could be seen in offices, now the windows of apartments and private houses are decorated with beautiful rolled curtains. They are of different colors and species, so the blinds can be chosen to any interior. As they care for them and ways to clean the modern curtains are described in detail in our article.
Washing vertical blinds
Dust and soot accumulate on the blinds, especially if they weigh on the kitchen window. So that they do not spoil the appearance of the window, looked neat and clean, they must be wrapped. Fissure blinds can be erased by hand or in a washing machine. In order not to spoil the new-fashioned curtains, we recommend to follow such recommendations:
- 1 step - carefully remove the blinds (the main thing is not to damage the design);
- 2 step - roll out every strip into a roll (but not too tight), move the prepared blinds into the wash bag (for each roll of a separate bag);
- 3 Step - In plastic pelvis, prepare a soap solution (use only economic soap, without dyes and flavors) and soak rolls in it for 30 minutes. (water should be cold);
- 4 step - after pre-soaking, move them in bags for washing to the washing machine, set the delicate mode (water temperature is 40 degrees), without pressing and drying (also select a powder or gel for delicate washing);
- 5 Step - When the wash end, get rolls from the bags and give them a track (you can use a bath or a wide pelvis).
If you chose a hand-made washing method, the soaking of rolls should increase to 2 hours. After soaking, it neatly scold each roll under running water. During the washing of vertical blinds, they do not need to rub them or use a brush brushes brush.
Werace cotton blinds
Cotton rolled blinds can also be erased, both manually and in a washing machine. The material is well purified and after washing does not lose its original appearance.

If you use manual washing, the soaking time must be increased to 3 hours and once completely change the soap solution. Rinse is produced under warm running water.
