3 Reasons You Should Be Cleaning Your Blinds

Clean window blinds and shades will freshen the look of any room décor, but more importantly, regular cleaning keeps your spaces free of allergens and bacteria that may negatively impact your family’s daily health.

1. Blinds accumulate allergens and dust mites

Many people overlook blinds when it comes to cleaning, yet blind fabrics can often attract a lot of allergens and dust. These are the two main causes of allergic reactions such as sneezing, coughing or runny noses. Regular dusting, wiping, or vacuuming of your blinds and shades is important to control build-up happening. Incorporating a few minutes each week to keep on top of this is ideal.

2. Facilitates the creation of mould and mildew

Mould and mildew are linked to a number of allergies and respiratory diseases. They produce spores which if inhaled can lead to allergic reactions and other health problems. This is especially harmful to kids, pregnant women, elderly people or those with asthma or other breathing issues. Blinds in humid areas such as bathrooms tend to be the biggest culprits of this. Ventilate your rooms properly, and ensure blinds are fully dried before retracting them.

3. Lengthens the life of your blinds

Keeping your blinds free of the contaminants listed above will significantly lengthen their lifespan. If you are not cleaning your blinds regularly, your blinds may deteriorate 5 times faster than those that are regularly cleaned. Failing to maintain them can cost you money in the long run.

Taking on the task of thoroughly washing your blinds, whilst necessary, can be a little overwhelming. Removing them, soaking them in the tub, finding products safe for the material, rehanging or restringing them, its all a lot. Leave it to the professionals at Jim’s Blind Cleaning and Repairs.
