Tips on caring for blind

How to support the blind "in the form"? How to make sure that they were long and looked perfectly? The easiest way to care for plastic and metal blinds. Suffice it to periodically wipe them with a damp cloth dipped in soapy water or powder, but metal can even scrub brush. Wooden blinds, wipe with a cloth and vacuumed.Threads which are fastened wooden parts, processed pylevlagoottalkivayuschey impregnated, so they do not care even a vacuum cleaner cleaning detergent. For shutters of the glass is only suitable dry cleaning.

The hardest thing to take care of fabric blinds. But inevitably in about a year (all depends on the quality of impregnation and of where they hang) they will have to clean. If you decide to take up the case itself, the flag in your hands. You must first remove the lower chain and remove the weights, then remove the runners themselves slats. This procedure is similar to the way the curtains are usually removed from the hooks. Each lamella twisted in the roll (to better maintain the shape, lamella can tie in cheesecloth) and dipped in soapy water or water with the powder. Do not rub the slats, but give them just lie. Once the dirt gone, slats removed and a wet hang in place. Under their weight and the weight of weights, they straighten and dry. If the fabric is not very high quality, fine, then after such a procedure, it can stretch out on the edges and lose shape. Therefore, when buying fabric blinds are not worth chasing cheapness.

One firm told me the story. When they have just started to work, to them a lady came and bought a light thin fabric blinds. Negligible sumnyashesya, sellers advised her to wash them when dirty. That one year removed from the eaves and slats, without removing the weights and other plastic parts, washed in the washing machine.After such a barbaric procedure to look at the slats was just painful - they are twisted and completely lost their shape. Now a sample of each tissue lamella employees of the company as an experiment must be washed by hand, dried, and see what it happens to know exactly how it will look after washing.

However, this procedure seemed to me very difficult and time consuming. I reasoned: if the blinds fabric is so popular, you are likely to be firms that their professionally cleaned. I had to sit down the phone. Almost everywhere I called, these companies heard something. I said: Yes, these companies really is, and someone from customers even use their services, but no telephones, no name or address could not. And yet I was lucky.I found. Two firms. True, the first immediately warned that they are engaged in cleaning venetian blinds in an industrial scale. If the area of blinds in your office more than 30 m, then you will come to a team of brave masters with chemicals and special equipment and quickly cleans all. The cost of this service - 40 rubles per square meter. Second firm serves individual orders. By calling a person arrives, takes blinds, takes them two days back clean. Price - $ 2 per sq. This version I liked more. At least do not have to breathe the dirtiest. But alas, I was bitterly disappointed. It turned out that the minimum area of tissue, which would undertake to clean the company - not less than 25 sq ft! I, of course, the area of windows is much smaller. What to do? As I hinted, way out there. Paying $ 50 - and you cleaned at least 1 meter. So decide what you prefer - do postirushkoy independently or part with half a ruble.
