Really the only reason you might be tempted to do otherwise is if you\u2019re considering washing them in the bath (which may be ok, as we\u2019ll cover later) or throwing the blind in its entirety in the washing machine; which will not be ok at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If washing roller blinds in the washing machine is your plan, you might as well save time and throw the blind straight in the bin, as this is all it\u2019s likely to be good for after!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polyester roller blinds ideally need washing by hand while still hanging, as otherwise there\u2019s a high likelihood that the fabric will discolour, lose its stiffness, become bobbled, and get creases and folds in it that can\u2019t be removed whatever you do. PVC or vinyl roller blinds, on the other hand, come with a few more cleaning options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sec2\">What is the best thing to use to clean blinds that aren\u2019t too grubby?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-roller-blinds-with-a-duster.jpg\" alt=\"Cleaning roller blinds with a duster\" class=\"wp-image-1102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-roller-blinds-with-a-duster.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-roller-blinds-with-a-duster-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-roller-blinds-with-a-duster-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-roller-blinds-with-a-duster-940x479.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-roller-blinds-with-a-duster-150x76.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can keep your roller blinds in good nick and delay the need for a more intensive cleaning by giving them some cursory attention as part of your regular household cleaning, and this is little to no effort at all, even if your idea of \u201ccleaning\u201d means \u201cmasking the issue and spraying Febreeze.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because roller blinds hang vertically they don\u2019t tend to get overly dusty, albeit if they\u2019re left in the same position for weeks they might develop something of a fur coat across the top. This means you can just give them a quick dusting off with a feather duster or microfibre cloth (to avoid them building up static and attracting the dust right back), or even your vacuum cleaner\u2019s upholstery brush attachment. Keep a hold of the bottom of the blind if using the vacuum cleaner for this, so that the fabric doesn\u2019t get creased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach to cleaning roller blinds will tend to be absolutely all that\u2019s needed for months or even years at a time, unless your blinds are hung in a bathroom or kitchen and so, subject to moisture and potentially for kitchens, the presence of fats and oils in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sec3\">How to clean roller blinds that have gone beyond basic dusting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So your blinds have been up in your kitchen or bathroom for a while, or your kid decided they\u2019d look better with some spaghetti hoops on them; what is the best way to clean blinds without taking them down if they\u2019ve gone beyond the point at which simple dusting can help them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This depends first up on whether your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/geek-central\/what-are-roller-blinds-made-of\/\">blinds are made of<\/a> polyester or PVC\/vinyl. If in doubt or it isn\u2019t obvious from the look and feel of your blinds, it is safest to assume that your roller blinds are made of polyester, simply because the majority of roller blinds are made of polyester. Polyester is also rather more delicate and so it is worth erring on the side of caution if you\u2019re unsure, to avoid damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, if you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/ask-an-expert\/are-roller-blinds-suitable-for-bathrooms\/\">chose roller blinds for a bathroom<\/a> or kitchen specifically, these are highly likely to be made of PVC or vinyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sec4\">How to clean polyester roller blinds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-polyester-roller-blinds-1.jpg\" alt=\"Cleaning polyester roller blinds\" class=\"wp-image-1113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-polyester-roller-blinds-1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-polyester-roller-blinds-1-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-polyester-roller-blinds-1-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-polyester-roller-blinds-1-940x479.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-polyester-roller-blinds-1-150x76.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to clean polyester roller blinds or if you\u2019re not sure about the fabric and don\u2019t want to take chances, first up remove any surface dust as directed above.

These are a bit more hardcore than polyester roller blinds as they\u2019re water resistant, fungal resistant (so that they don\u2019t tend to develop mould in damp environments, just remember to dry off excessive amount of water before rolling them back up), and flame retardant too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this means they can take a bit more of a beating than their polyester cousins, and so the best thing to use to clean vinyl or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/roller-blinds\/waterproof\/\">PVC roller blinds<\/a> is\u2026 Still a baby wipe or cloth\/sponge. You can go a bit wilder about it though, and throw in some soap or washing detergent, and use slightly warmer water as well, albeit this still shouldn\u2019t be hot-hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PVC and vinyl roller blinds can be gotten properly wet when cleaning them, but ironically because they\u2019re also waterproof, any stains and marks are going to be on the surface only and so that much easier to remove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As is the case with cleaning polyester roller blinds, work from the top to the bottom of the blind and repeat on the back; using a scrubbing motion if needed, and rinsing your sponge or cloth regularly to ensure you\u2019re not just moving the dirt around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sec6\">Can you wash roller blinds in the bath?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-roller-blinds-in-the-bathtub.jpg\" alt=\"Cleaning roller blinds in the bathtub\" class=\"wp-image-1105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-roller-blinds-in-the-bathtub.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-roller-blinds-in-the-bathtub-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-roller-blinds-in-the-bathtub-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-roller-blinds-in-the-bathtub-940x479.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cleaning-roller-blinds-in-the-bathtub-150x76.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, you\u2019ll make cleaning roller blinds simpler and less prone to going wrong if you keep them on the tube and hung up for washing. That said, if your blinds are made of PVC or vinyl AND the roller tube itself is not made of cardboard (which tends to only be the case with very old-style roller blinds, but check anyway) you can indeed wash or rinse them off in the bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means first taking your blind down and so, removing it from its fixing bracket; once you\u2019ve done that, here\u2019s how to wash PVC or vinyl roller blinds in the bath:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When you\u2019ve freed your blind from the fixing bracket, remove both the control end and the pin end from inside of the roller tube (these contain springs and potentially other metal parts that may seize up or rust if they get soaked).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fill the bath with warm water and either mild detergent or soap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the blind in the bath and leave it to soak for no longer than half an hour, or less if it isn\u2019t too grimy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a soft scrubbing brush or a sponge to scrub the blind front and back.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rinse, and repeat if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Empty the bath and blot the blind dry as best you can with a towel or a leather chamois.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replace the blind\u2019s ends and re-hang the blind on its brackets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leave the blind fully extended until it is completely dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions about cleaning roller blinds or want to find out what roller blinds that you purchased from us historically are made of before you get too soap-happy with them, get in touch and we\u2019ll do our best to help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whatever your roller blinds are made of, this blog post will tell you the best thing to use to clean blinds of this type, and why \u2013 and how.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1101,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,25,24],"tags":[177,179,180,182,181,183,184,185,178],"class_list":["post-1088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ask-an-expert","category-geek-central","category-guides","tag-can-you-wash-roller-blinds","tag-can-you-wash-roller-blinds-in-the-washing-machine","tag-cleaning-roller-blinds-without-taking-them-down","tag-how-to-clean-polyester-roller-blinds","tag-how-to-clean-pvc-roller-blinds","tag-how-to-clean-roller-blinds","tag-how-to-remove-stains-from-roller-blinds","tag-how-to-wash-roller-blinds","tag-should-you-take-roller-blinds-down-to-clean-them"],"yoast_head":"<title>The Best Ways to Clean Roller Blinds.
