When installing blinds and shutters for our customers in Torquay Vic, Geelong, Bellarine and the Surfcoast we are often asked about how to care for and clean Champion Blinds’ products. Blinds and shutters always look fantastic when first installed and with cleaning and a little bit of care they can stay in great condition for many years. When you have your blinds or shutters first installed, your Champion Blinds rep will happily talk to you about how to maintain them. Here are some top tips:
- Venetian blinds – carefully vacuum with the brush attachment or a lamb’s wool duster. If you have fabric vertical blinds do a spot-clean with a damp cloth – don’t use soapy water.
- Timber blinds – vacuum with the brush attachment or lamb’s wool duster. If you want to give them an occasional deep clean, use a wood cleaner such as oil soap. Avoid soap and water on timber blinds, this may damage the timber.
- Timber shutters and plantation shutters – simply dust timber shutters on both sides. If they are painted timber shutters leave them hanging and wash them with a brush (a soft bristled dustpan brush is suitable) dipped in detergent and water. Cover the floor and window sill with plastic or a drop cloth before you start to protect them. Rinse timber shutters and dry with a cotton cloth.
- Roller blinds and roman blinds – carefully vacuum with the small flat attachment or spot clean with a damp cloth.
If you have any questions about the care and maintenance of your shutters, blinds or awnings, be sure to give your Champion Blinds Geelong and Torquay rep a call.
