How should blinds be cleaned?
Care depends on the fabric, coating, slat material and controls. Follow the selected product's instructions. Light dusting may suit some coverings; water, abrasive cleaners and vigorous rubbing can damage others.
Check the controls
Check that the blind travels freely and does not catch on furniture, handles or open windows. Keep motorised controls dry and follow charging or battery instructions. Do not force a blind that catches; ask for product-specific advice.
Children and pets
Consider cordless or motorised arrangements and the position of any chain, cord or control. Keep beds, cots and climbable furniture away from operating loops. Follow the supplied safety instructions; do not cut, knot or alter a cord.
For additional UK blind-cord safety information, see the Make It Safe campaign and follow the instructions supplied with the chosen product.
See blind controls in family rooms or ask Gemini about your room.
