Blinds: the secret to cleaning them immediately and with only 1 ingredient!
Cleaning the blinds from the outside is not the same as cleaning the blinds from the inside, especially if we do not have access to the blinds from the outside. You also have to take into account the material the blind is made of: wood, PVC, plastic, aluminum… Each material requires a different type of approach and product.
And of course, color also counts, because white, for example, is one of the most difficult to clean.
Let’s say that regardless of the material, with a little mild soap and clean water we can always polish our roller blinds with dignity. However, there are cases where dirt is especially resistant and stubborn. In these cases, it is necessary to use specific products (but not abrasive) and use a steam cleaner.
Vinegar
But according to expert opinion, just a cloth (preferably microfiber) and a little vinegar can be fine. The latter can have quite good disinfectant effectiveness. Simply pass it over the cloth and rub it on the surface of the blind for a few seconds, both inside and out.
Vinegar is also very useful on the glass of the shower screen, another of those areas of the bathroom that we often don’t know how to clean and that, above all, never turn out as we would like.
If we do not have access to the outside of the blinds, the most common solution is to open the top drawer where the curtain is rolled up.
We take a ladder and with a bucket full of soap and water we clean the visible part of the roller blind. Then we unroll the curtain a little until we can no longer see the part that we have cleaned and remove the dirt that we find later. Repeat until we have completely cleaned the store.
