Are you thinking of renovating your house with more creative things? Are you tired of your worn fabric curtains and no privacy on your windows? Blinds are sure to give your home the modern look you’ve always wanted. Here are some tips to help you with your purchase and also to make maintenance easier.

Shutters are the cheapest hard window treatments made of wood or metals that offer better privacy compared to other types. There are many types of blinds available in the market. They can be vertical slats, roller type, horizontal Venetian or luxury Roman in terms of the shape of the slats.

They can also be divided into mini, plantation and panels. Maintenance depends mainly on the type of material that composes it. Blinds are usually made of; wood, hard plastics such as PVS, imitation wood, aluminium, etc.

It is always advisable to choose the material for your window treatment according to where you plan to install it. For bathrooms and kitchens, especially for windows over sinks, it is better to use a waterproof material, so that moisture does not easily damage them. Always measure your window exactly before purchasing any treatment.

Blinds with movable slats often come with cords attached, which can cause damage or dangerous injury if left unnoticed. Therefore, they should always be kept on top. There are also chances of dirt getting in between the blind slats, making it difficult to clean. Also, if you have a furry pet, your blind will probably fill with hair.

There are some basic steps to follow so that dirt and dust can be removed from these window treatments. First of all, lower them and open them completely to clean the dust, before starting the actual cleaning process; no matter what material it is. Keep the following tips in mind when considering the actual routine cleaning process.

Dusting your blinds regularly can help keep them cleaner to a greater extent. Dusting can be a bit difficult as the planks are often placed too close to each other. Always use a soft fiber or brush to clean to make materials like wood last longer.

Blinds with water-resistant materials or faux wood can be cleaned with chemical solutions if necessary. But always try to avoid high concentration harsh chemicals to maintain the beauty of your slats.

Blinds that can be removed, such as aluminum ones, are best cleaned by immersing them in a tub of soapy water. Excess dust can be removed with the soft part of a sponge or a soft damp cloth. Finally, the slats can be rinsed to remove all sticky soaps.

The slats that can be washed with soaps must be carefully checked if they are clean or not of residues. They can be air dried and hung from their frames to allow their part to be done.
