Find professional blind cleaning services in East Melbourne

Blind cleaning services range from cleaning your blinds to restoring them so they look brand new again. You can find cleaners experienced in both horizontal and vertical blind cleaning, across a whole range of materials. Here’s what you can expect from some of the most common blind cleaning services:

Venetian blind cleaning

Venetian blinds need regular cleaning because they have so many surfaces that collect dust. Your cleaner will start by confirming what your blinds are made of - whether wood, aluminium, or PCV. This will help them determine the best cleaning methods and detergents to effectively clean without causing damage. Next, they’ll wipe away dust from each slat of your blinds. Your cleaner may use a damp microfibre cloth or they may use a specially designed dusting tool to cover multiple slats at once. After removing the dust, your cleaner will check for any stains and mould, before using a suitable detergent to get your blinds sparkly clean. Finally, they’ll check the cords of your blinds for any wear and tear, and advise you if any parts need replacing.

Roller blind cleaning

Your cleaner will first extend and inspect your roller blinds to make sure they can be cleaned without taking them down. They’ll start by wiping down both sides of the blinds to remove dust, insects, and light marks. If your blinds need a deep cleaning to remove stains or stubborn dirt, your cleaner may remove them from the bracket. They’ll soak them in a warm bath with liquid laundry detergent to help break down the dirt, before spot-cleaning with a sponge to remove marks. Finally, they’ll rinse the blinds, dry them, and re-hang them. During the process, your cleaner will also check the chain and mechanism and will be sure to let you know if any parts need to be replaced.

Roman blind cleaning

Roman blind cleaning usually starts with a gentle vacuum using an upholstery attachment. This removes surface dirt. Next, your cleaner will spot clean to remove any stains or marks. They’ll choose a cleaning solution that’s suitable for the fabric or materials used in your blinds. If your blinds need deep cleaning, your cleaner may remove them, but generally, roman blinds can be cleaned while still hanging. Once they’re finished cleaning, your cleaner will leave the blinds extended and your windows open to help speed up drying times.

Timber blind cleaning

Timber blinds can’t get too wet, so your cleaner will be careful to choose timber-friendly cleaning methods. Wooden blind cleaning techniques will depend on the type of blinds, but generally, your cleaner will start by dusting all surfaces using a feather duster or dry microfibre cloth, moving from top to bottom. Your cleaner may also use an oil-based product to condition and shine your wooden blinds.
