Can curtains be washed? What's the best way to clean curtains?

How long has it been since you last cleaned your curtains? The year-end "spring cleaning" is probably a major headache that many people don't want to face!

Over time, dust accumulates, and the surface of the curtains may begin to yellow and develop mold spots. After being exposed to wind and sun for a long time by the window, you may also see mold spots or sun marks when you turn the back of the curtains over, or even see the adhesive peeling off.

In addition to year-end cleaning, we highly recommend cleaning your curtains regularly. This not only extends their lifespan but also greatly improves the quality of your home environment! This is especially beneficial if any family members have allergies.

Before you start cleaning, it's recommended to have a basic understanding of the types of curtains (hard or soft) and use appropriate methods for washing or dry cleaning to avoid damaging the curtains due to improper cleaning!

Currently, curtains on the market can be roughly divided into two types: "hard" and "soft".

• stiff curtainsAlso known as system curtains or window coverings, generally referring to...Double Roller Blinds/Roller Blinds/Honeycomb Shades/Venetian Blinds/Vertical Blinds Curtains designed with emphasis on hardware functionality and often featuring a stiffer appearance are typically found in such systems.
• Soft curtainsCurtains made primarily of soft fabric, also known as fabric curtains or sheer curtains.

Now that we have this basic understanding, let's take a look at how to clean and maintain hard and soft curtains!

How to clean rigid blinds? (Zebra blinds/roller blinds/honeycomb blinds/venetian blinds/vertical blinds)

Doubld roller blind / Roller blinds / Honeycomb Shade / Venetian blinds / Vertical blinds Cleaning stiffer curtains is easier.No need to wash with water.

Zebra blinds, roller blinds, and honeycomb blinds are more prone to deformation when exposed to water, and the surface of the blinds will wrinkle like paper that has been soaked in water; wooden Venetian blinds, being made of wood, are not suitable for washing with water.

However, because they don't need to be washed with water, the cleaning and maintenance methods for stiff curtains are all very similar and very simple!

• Basic daily cleaning methods: dry cloth, duster, vacuum cleaner

Most of the dust can be removed by wiping the surface of zebra blinds/roller blinds/honeycomb blinds/venetian blinds/vertical blinds with a dry cloth or duster, or by vacuuming them.

It is recommended to use a vacuum cleaner with a brush head for cleaning, and...Adjust the suction power to the minimum mode.Avoid damaging the curtain structure (especially the three-dimensional hollow structure of honeycomb blinds).

• Special stain cleaning methods: toothbrush, damp cloth, detergent

If the curtain has noticeable or difficult-to-remove dirt, you can use...Toothbrush or other soft-bristled brushGently brush away dirt, or use...Wring out thoroughly before use. Disposable dual-purpose towels / Brand new, unused cloth.Gently wipe the stain in a small area.

Please note that you should not use the same cloth you use to wipe things to wipe the curtains directly, as the moisture and bacteria left on the cloth can cause the curtains to become moldy.

For a stronger cleaning effect, use a diluted detergent. Like clothing, curtains may fade with detergent. It is recommended to dilute the detergent with water first and test it on a small, inconspicuous area of ​​the curtain to confirm its effectiveness before proceeding with a larger cleaning.

• Cleaning techniques and tips for different curtain styles

1. How to clean the hollow cells of a honeycomb curtain?

Honeycomb blinds feature unique hexagonal three-dimensional hollow cells, which have the functions of isolating air and maintaining a constant indoor temperature, making them an environmentally friendly and energy-saving type of curtain.

However, people often wonder if small insects can easily get into the cells of a honeycomb curtain, and whether it will be difficult to clean them.

However, based on MSBT's long-standing experience,It's actually very rare for small insects to wander into the middle of the honeycomb's curtain cells.!

Dust or small dirt usually settles on the edges of the openings in the honeycomb curtain cells, or slightly inside the openings. Using a vacuum cleaner with a brush head to clean the openings on the sides of the honeycomb curtain can usually remove it completely.

If, unfortunately, a small insect is stuck in the middle of a cell, find a thin, long stick or telescopic rod and carefully insert it into the honeycomb curtain to clean it. Please note that there is a thin string inside the honeycomb curtain; when cleaning the cells, be careful not to snag the string, as this will affect future operations.

2. How to quickly clean Venetian blinds?

When cleaning Venetian blinds, you canFirst, flip the leaves over so that they are completely closed.After wiping the entire side, switch to the other side to clean most of the dust.

If you are using MSBTWaterproof Blinds & Shadesseries: Lansin aluminum Venetian blinds/Pimu Venetian Blinds　Fauxwood．Embossed/Pimu wooden Venetian blinds with a light wood grain finishIf hung in the bathroom, the curtain can be rinsed directly with water.

However! After rinsing, it is recommended to gently wipe the leaves dry with a cloth and let them air dry before storing them to prevent the leaves from sticking together due to residual water, and to avoid the accumulation of scale or even mold on the leaf surface.

 How to clean soft fabric curtains (fabric curtains/sheer curtains)?

Many MSBT users instinctively believe that soft fabric curtains can be directly removed and washed, but different curtain fabrics require different cleaning methods. We recommend...Avoid washing the curtains directly with water yourself; it's better to have them professionally cleaned by a curtain cleaning company.

• Basic daily cleaning methods for fabric/sheer curtains

Using a vacuum cleaner with a duster and brush head can remove most of the dust from fabric surfaces. When cleaning with a vacuum cleaner, please use the brush head and...Adjust the suction power to the minimum mode..

• Special stain cleaning methods for fabric/sheer curtains (It is highly recommended to entrust the task to a professional curtain cleaning company.）

1. Scrub particularly stained areas.

If there are obvious local stains on the fabric, such as yellow spots or black mold, you can first use a toothbrush or other soft-bristled brush dipped in clean water (do not use detergent yet) to gently brush along the direction of the curtain's grain to increase the chances of cleaning.

2. Confirm the strength and dosage of the cleaning agent.

Because cleaning agents vary in strength, it is recommended to dilute the cleaning agent first and test it on a less noticeable area of ​​the curtain. Once you confirm that it is helpful, then use an appropriate amount to clean.

Just in case! You absolutely must disassemble and wash the curtains yourself, please...Curtains of different colors and fabrics should be washed separately!

After putting the curtain fabric into the laundry bag, please...Wash gently at a low temperature; do not bleach or tumble dry.Air drying is the best way to maintain the curves of curtains, as the fabric's curves may deform due to heat during the drying process..

If your curtains are old, don't hesitate to replace them or worry about the hassle.

If your curtains have accumulated a thick layer of yellow stains or black spots, and there are still traces after cleaning, or even if they become brittle from prolonged sun exposure and tear easily after washing, then it's time to replace them with new curtains!

Replacing curtains is actually very simple nowadays. Whether you want to measure and install them yourself or have a professional come to your home, you can do so.MSBT Official WebsiteCompleted.
