Internal blinds not only elevate the aesthetics of your home but also demand regular care to ensure longevity and continued beauty. At Brisbane Screens and Blinds, where we specialise in a diverse range of internal blinds, including Vertical Blinds, Venetian Blinds, Roman Blinds, Roller Blinds, Panel Glides, and Media Blinds, we understand the importance of proper maintenance. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into expert tips to help you keep your internal blinds in pristine condition for years to come.
Dust Regularly for Cleanliness
Dust is the nemesis of all blinds, accumulating over time and diminishing their appeal. Incorporate regular dusting into your cleaning routine using a soft cloth or a duster. For intricate blinds like Venetian or Vertical Blinds, take extra care in reaching all surfaces. This simple yet effective practice not only maintains a clean appearance but also prevents the buildup of allergens that could affect your indoor air quality. Brisbane Screens and Blinds recommends a gentle approach to prevent any damage to delicate blind materials.
Vacuuming for Deep Cleaning
While regular dusting is essential, a periodic deep clean is equally important, especially for blinds like Vertical and Venetian. Utilise the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner for a more thorough cleaning process. Ensure your blinds are fully extended during this process, allowing you to access both sides effectively. Opt for a low suction setting to prevent any potential damage. Brisbane Screens and Blinds suggests incorporating vacuuming into your cleaning routine every few weeks for blinds situated in high-traffic areas or closer to outdoor openings.
Spot Cleaning for Stains
Stains can appear unexpectedly on blinds and addressing them promptly is crucial to maintaining the overall look of your internal blinds. For spot cleaning, use a mild detergent or a specialised blind-cleaning solution on a soft cloth or sponge. Dab at the stain gently without rubbing, as rubbing can spread the stain further. Brisbane Screens and Blinds recommends testing any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility with your blind material.
Professional Cleaning Services
For a comprehensive and meticulous clean, consider professional blind cleaning services. Professional cleaning not only deepens the cleanliness but also helps in preserving the quality and lifespan of your blinds. Schedule professional cleaning annually or as needed, depending on factors like the location of your home and the type of blinds you have.
Maintenance of Mechanical Parts
Blinds with mechanical parts, such as Roller Blinds or Panel Glides, require additional attention. Regular maintenance of these components is crucial to ensuring the smooth operation of your blinds. Inspect mechanical parts for any signs of wear and tear and lubricate them as needed. We can provide expert guidance on maintaining these components, offering valuable tips to prolong the life of your blinds and ensure their continued functionality.

Implementing preventive measures can significantly reduce the frequency of intensive cleaning sessions. Consider installing washable blinds or those treated with stain-resistant finishes.
