Why Clean Roller Blinds Regularly?

  • Prevent dust build-up
    • Which can aggravate allergies.
  • Eliminate stains and spots
    • Maintain a crisp, polished appearance.
  • Prolong fabric life
    • Saving you money and effort in the long run.
  • With the right approach, cleaning roller blinds becomes fast, simple—and dare we say, enjoyable.

Step 1: Dust Weekly

A quick dusting keeps blinds looking fresh—and decreases full cleanings.

What you need:

  • Microfiber cloth or feather duster
    • Optional: Soft-bristle vacuum attachment

How to do it:

  1. Fully lower the blind.
  2. Gently wipe from top to bottom with a microfiber cloth or feather duster.
  3. Use a soft vacuum attachment for textured areas.
    • Especially Folded fabrics like Voile/Sheers.

Quick tip by blind type:

  • Light Filtering/Dimout
    • Smooth surface, wipes clean effortlessly.
  • Voile/Sheers
    • Delicate; use soft cloths or low-suction vacuum to keep fibers soft.
  • Blackout
    • Dense weave traps more dust, so vacuum regularly.

Step 2: Spot Clean Smartly

A swift spot clean gets rid of smudges, fingerprints, or cooking residue before they set in.

What to grab:

  • Warm water
  • Few drops of mild dish soap
  • Soft sponge or lint-free cloth
    • Optional: White vinegar for stubborn marks

How-to:

  1. Mix warm water and dish soap (about 1 tsp soap per 200 mL water).
  2. Dip sponge, wring it well, then gently blot the stain—never rub.
  3. Rinse with clean water, then blot dry with a towel.
    • For tough stains
      • Add a splash of white vinegar to the mix.

Fabric reminders:

  • Light Filtering/Dimout
    • Easy to clean with a damp cloth.
  • Voile/Sheers
    • Blot gently; too much moisture can leave ring lines.
  • Blackout
    • Keep moisture minimal to prevent sagging or stains; blot carefully.

Step 3: Deep Clean Every Few Months

A deeper cleaning rejuvenates blinds—perfect for spring refresh or post-holiday cleaning.

You’ll need:

  • Bathtub or large laundry basin
  • Towels for drying
  • Mild soap

Steps to follow:

  1. Remove the blind per.
  2. Fill the tub or basin with lukewarm water and mild soap.
  3. Lay the blind flat and soak 10–15 minutes—don’t wring or twist.
  4. Gently squeeze out water, then rinse thoroughly.
  5. Roll up in towels to absorb extra moisture.
  6. Reinstall and allow it to fully air-dry before rolling up to avoid mildew.

Best for all Tenstickers types:

  • Light Filtering/Dimout & Blackout – built for durability, strong enough for gentle soaking.
  • Voile/Sheers – do soak with care; soak time and drying are key to preserving shape.

Step 4: Prevent Dirt Before It Starts

A little prevention goes a long way in reducing cleaning needs.

  • Dust filters & air purifiers
    • Cut back airborne dust.
  • Hands-off policy
    • Avoid touching blinds with oily or dirty hands.
  • Moisture control in kitchens/bathrooms
    • Use extractor fans to reduce grease and steam deposits.

Pro Tips for Smart Cleaning

When It’s Time to Replace

Even with good care, blinds eventually lose their charm. Watch for:
