3 Essential Steps for Pristine Day and Night Blinds!

Step 1 – Light Cleaning with a Duster

Regular dusting is essential to keep your Day and Night blinds free from dust and dirt.

  • Gentle Dusting: Use a lint-free cloth or feather duster to gently clean the surface of the blinds.
  • Clean Both Layers: Since these blinds have two fabric layers, clean both the front and back. Start by dusting the front section of the blind at the bottom, then dust the back section at the top. Use the sidewinder control to reveal the next section and repeat this process until the entire blind is dust-free.
  • Focus on Key Areas: Pay extra attention to areas that tend to collect dust, such as the headrail, edges, and the bottom of the blind where it meets the windowsill.
  • Avoid Using a Vacuum: Refrain from using a vacuum cleaner, even with a brush attachment, as the suction can damage or fray the delicate fabric. Also, avoid steam cleaning, which may harm the material.

Step 2 – Treating Marks or Stubborn Stains

For more challenging stains, follow these steps to clean your blinds safely:

  • Use a Damp Sponge or Cloth: Dampen a non-abrasive sponge or cloth with lukewarm water. Ensure the sponge is just damp and not soaked to avoid damaging the fabric.
  • Careful Wiping: Gently wipe the stained area, being careful not to apply too much pressure that might damage the fabric’s structure.
  • Allow to Dry Naturally: After removing the stain, extend the blind fully and let it air dry naturally before retracting it.

Step 3 – Maintaining the Chain Mechanism

Keeping the mechanical parts in good condition is crucial for the smooth operation of your blinds.

  • Apply Silicone Spray: Use a small amount of silicone spray on the operating chain to reduce resistance and prevent stiffness. Be careful not to spray on the fabric to avoid discolouration.
  • Follow Manufacturer Instructions: Always adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines when applying silicone spray to ensure safe and effective maintenance.

Village Blinds and Shutters Home Appointments FAQ

Our design consultant will arrive at the agreed time slot and ask you questions about your requirements and style preferences to help understand your project. They will measure your windows and discuss fabric/material options and provide you with a quotation based on your choices.

Depending on your requirements, a home appointment can take from 30 minutes for 1-10 blinds, to 60 minutes for 10+ blinds or window shutters. Our design consultant will work at your pace and we’re happy to stay longer to talk through your options and provide advice if you’d like.

We would ask ahead of the home appointment that you have arranged clear access to the window areas being measured and that any obstructing furniture or breakables near the windows are removed.

Once the windows are in, plastering has been completed and any tiling or skirting or architrave that might be close to the blinds has been installed. This will allow our design consultant to take accurate measurements.

Usually, our design consultant will be able to provide you with your quotation during your appointment.  Sometimes for some very bespoke projects pricing can take a little longer. If you haven’t heard back within 24 hours, give them a call or email and they will keep you updated.

Our production team work tirelessly to craft every single blind and shutter for our customers individually. Lead in times can vary depending on factors such as material availability and our production schedule. That being said we will always work to get your order as quickly as possible. Ask your design consultant for an up-to-date lead time estimate.
