How to clean luxaflex roller blinds to get the best result

Luxaflex blinds are excellent tools to increase your house's energy efficiency, as they add an extra layer of protection between outside temperature and inside temperature. They are also an aesthetically pleasing option for home decor. If you opt for luxaflex roller blinds, you can also control the light coming into your home by keeping the blind rolled up or down. However, to make sure your luxaflex roller blinds stay in peek condition, you might have to clean them from time to time. The following tips can help you keep your blinds clean.

Light dirt

If your roller blinds are slightly dirty, or if you've got a spot on them, the easiest way to clean them is by rubbing them gently with a sponge or soft cloth. Rub the blinds gently with circular motions and avoid rubbing too hard. If you do rub too hard, you can damage the protective coating the roller blinds have to prevent static electricity and dirt build up, which could shorten their life length significantly. If the dirt won't go away just by rubbing it, you can dampen the sponge or cloth with lukewarm water. Don't use so much water that the blinds go wet all the way through, as this might take a long time to dry.

Heavy dirt

If your roller blinds are very dirty, you should be wary how you wash them. Luxaflex roller blind should not be submerged in water, as the tube that the blind is attached to shouldn't come in contact with water because it might rust and break. Try the aforementioned method, but also add some detergent to the mix to increase the efficiency of the cleaning. Make sure you clean the sponge or cloth often so that you don't use a dirty tool to tidy your roller blinds. Make sure that you let the roller blinds dry completely after you're done.

Detergent

When it comes to detergent, you should be careful with what you're using. You should be using a natural detergent without additives of synthetic substances, as these types of detergents are kinder to the fabric and might not act as abrasive as other types. Also make sure that the detergent you're using is made for use on fabric. Regardless of what detergent you're using, you should make sure that you clean all of it off the roller blinds as you're done cleaning. Use a damp sponge and wipe it off. Buildup of dried detergent can weaken the blinds and create nasty spots.
