Can you use water to clean electric blinds?

It’s safest to avoid water near all electric devices. However, you could use a damp cloth to spot clean on fabrics materials like motorised roller blinds. Read more in 3 Easy Steps to Care For and Clean Roller Blinds.

You should avoid stain remover products and bleach on your blind fabrics because harsh chemicals can affect the colour.

Cleaning electric Venetian blinds:

Electric or motorised Venetian blinds are a great addition to any modern home, especially if you would like to encourage a natural, comfortable feel.

Electric/motorised Venetian blinds are equally as easy to clean as fabrics. However, they can attract additional dust and grime due to their horizontal design.

To clean your motorised Venetian blinds, simply:

1. Shut your blinds and go over them with a duster

2. Open, and close them so that the opposite side is now facing you

3. Go over the new side with a duster too

You should always avoid using water to clean Venetian blinds because the moisture can get stuck in the timber’s fibres– leading to mould growth and warping.

Different materials of Venetian blinds like PVC and aluminium could be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

Custom Blinds and Shutter World’s PVC Venetian blinds are made from a UV-protected, anti-static material so that they can survive even the harshest of Gold Coast seasons.

Each electric or motorised blind has its pros and cons for maintenance, and each home has unique features that will make a big difference to the choices you should make like:

• The design, shape, and size of your windows

• The environment surrounding your home
