PERFORMANCE TECHNICS
First of all, the blinds need to wipe off the dust, regardless of the material from which they are made. For example, this can be done with a cloth made of sheep's wool or a paint brush with soft bristles, and can also be vacuumed with a special brush-attachment. First you need to clean the blinds on one side, and then turn over and clean with the other.
Blinds in the kitchen or in the adjoining room can be extremely dirty. They can form a yellowish film of cigarette smoke, regardless of the room. If the blinds are metal, have a protective coating or are made of a synthetic material such as vinyl, then it is recommended to clean them with a soft cloth moistened with any cleaning agent without chlorine. Also, the home cleanser can be prepared on its own - just add a little sodium phosphate, which is freely sold in a metal store, in a bucket of water. Do not forget to wear a mask, a long-sleeved shirt and rubber gloves beforehand, and follow the instructions in the instructions exactly. First, it is necessary to wipe the blinds with a soft cloth soaked in a prepared product, and then rinse them with water. If you are hard at cleaning in the crevices between the slats, you can take a clean brush with soft bristles or wrap a wooden stick with a paper towel or a terry towel.
If the blinds often need intensive cleaning, it is better to moisten a cloth in a mixture of sodium phosphate, only you need to be careful - you can not splash such water on the carpet or laminate. Also remember that the tree can not be supersaturated with moisture.
Cloth-covered blinds need to be cleaned in a special way. It is necessary to mix a little liquid detergent with water, then beat the mixture until the foam forms and clean it with a cloth. Wipe it better with a towel dry. So you can not only remove the dirt, but also perfectly dry the surface of the blinds.
Blinds from vinyl or with a protective metal coating can be washed right in the bathroom. This method is recommended by the International Board of Safety of Window Coatings. In order to do this procedure, you need to lower the blinds and remove them from the support brackets. Wash them with water with 2 cups of any detergent dissolved in it. The water level should be sufficient to completely immerse the blinds in it. Dip them into the water several times to properly remove dirt and dust. Each bar must then be wiped with a sponge. So that the powder does not harm your hands, it is better to wear rubber gloves.
Soak the soapy water out of the tub and fill it with clean, cold water again. Dip again in the bath of the blinds to finally wash off their soap from their surface, and wash the tub. If the traces of soap are still on the blinds, you need to repeat the rinsing procedure, and then hang the blinds in the bathroom and leave it for a few hours. If later you find that the slats are still not completely dry, wipe them dry with a soft cloth.
IN SPECIAL CASES
If you are busy with blinds, you simply do not have time, and you still need to clean them, you can turn to a professional cleaning service. They use the "ultrasonic bath" method to clean the blinds, which acts on the material by passing sound waves through the water. Services professionals will cost you less if you deliver the blinds to cleaning yourself, and then take them back.
ATTENTION! Before you clean the blinds properly, you need to make a preliminary test. Try applying a fleece to the edge of the blinds with a little cleanser and check its effect. This is especially true in the case of fabric or wood products. They are often brought to us from other countries, so it's almost impossible to know what color the tree was painted with.
