How to clean Roman blinds

To prevent dust from collecting on your Roman blind, we suggest cleaning using the soft brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner. This is a small, flathead brush with a row of short bristles, great for cleaning fabric surfaces like blinds as well as mattresses and sofas.

Close your blind fully and use the upholstery attachment to carefully brush the fabric in a downwards motion until you have vacuumed the whole of the blind surface.

Work in a downwards motion from top to bottom, paying particular attention to the bottom and side edges, where dust may gather.

If your Roman blind becomes marked or stained, first try to remove the stain using a clean, damp cloth. Gently rub the affected area with the cloth until the stain begins to lift.

To clean more greasy stains, you may need to try spot cleaning using a specialist fabric stain remover or gentle detergent.

If you ever need to clean mould off your Roman blind, brush with a stiff brush or spot treat with a specialist fabric detergent.

Always check that the product you are using is appropriate for your Roman blind fabric and make sure you follow the manufacturer instructions for removing the stain. Test a small, inconspicuous area of your blind fabric first if in doubt.
