Adding the timeless aesthetic of Venetian blinds to your home can make an enormous difference to the look and feel of your home. The simplicity of blinds can effortlessly modernise your home and even help make your rooms look bigger. Our popular window coverings, made in Auckland, can complement any decor style. Easy to maintain and clean, we have put together this simple guide to caring for your Total Look Blinds.
The first step in maintaining your blinds is to dust them regularly. You can use a soft-bristled brush or a microfiber cloth to gently dust the slats, starting from the top and working your way down. Be sure to dust both sides of the slats to remove any accumulated dirt and dust. You can also use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust from hard-to-reach areas.
For small stains or marks on your blinds, spot cleaning is the way to go. You can use a damp cloth or sponge with mild detergent to gently clean the affected area. Be sure to rinse afterwards with clean water and dry it off with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. This can be repeated as often as necessary when you notice stains or marks.
If your blinds are looking particularly dirty, however, you may need to give them a deep clean. Fill a bathtub with warm water and a mild detergent. Remove the blinds from the window and place them in the tub to let them soak for 10-15 minutes. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the slats, then rinse them off with clean water. Hang the blinds up to air dry completely before re-installing them.
Our high-quality blinds are made from durable materials, but damage can still occur. To prevent damage to your blinds, be careful when opening and closing them. Use the cord or remote control to tilt the slats, and avoid pulling or tugging on them. If your blinds have become stuck or difficult to operate, do not force them - this can cause irreparable damage. Instead, contact us for advice.
If you don't have the time to clean your blinds yourself, you can hire a professional cleaning service to do it for you. They will have the tools and expertise to clean your blinds quickly and effectively, without risking any damage.
