Easy and Environmentally Friendly Cleaning Method for Dirty Blinds

Woman with facemask cleaning the window

The Christmas/New Year break for much of the workforce is the ideal time to take a couple of weeks’ annual leave. In fact, whole industries, such as construction, shut down almost totally for at least three weeks at this time of year. While many of the affected workers may take the time to get away interstate or overseas, just as many stays at home to wind down, catch a movie and spend time with their families.

With all this extra time at home, it doesn’t take long before that New Year resolution to clean up the house gains momentum. The idea of starting the year with everything tidy and fresh sounded great from one minute to midnight, but lazing in comfort on the back deck is no way to get it happening. Getting a “to-do” list together is a great start and high on the agenda are the often neglected windows and blinds.

New Cleaning Solution – High-Frequency Sound Waves

At least there is now an easier solution to cleaning the blinds than hanging them on the clothesline, throwing a bucket of soapy water over them, and hoping all the grime comes off under the hose.

Blind Concepts is utilizing the latest in ultrasonic cleaning technology to bring blinds back to their original, pristine state. This technology uses high-frequency sound waves to remove dust and grime from every area of the blinds.

Using a gentle, water-based solution that is safe for all types of blinds, and a very small amount of biodegradable detergent, this is an environmentally responsible cleaning method that is also water-wise. In combination with the high-frequency sound waves, millions of tiny imploding energy bubbles remove every trace of dirt and grime, even from hard-to-access areas. Even the cords and other delicate areas of the blinds are safely and effectively cleaned.

Don’t Replace Expensive Blinds – Get Them Cleaned

The process sanitizes, deodorizes, and lubricates the blinds, removing any traces of bacteria and producing an astonishing result. Often, blinds are replaced simply because they are too hard to clean and not because they are worn out. The dirt, dust, and grime give them the appearance of being old when in fact, they just need a thorough cleaning to remove the layers of dirt that are obscuring their original beauty. Having them cleaned using this ultrasonic technology can save thousands of dollars that would otherwise be spent on unnecessary replacements.

Blind Concepts collect the blinds from the home and take them to their workshop where they are cleaned and carefully hung to dry. The process only takes a few hours and clients have their blinds back ready to hang within 24 hours. Getting clean blinds is as easy as contacting Blind Concepts.

Keeping your Blinds Clean

Person in Yellow suit giving a thumbs up
Keeping healthy at home and at the office is a top priority for most people. Most of us are very fussy about the state of our floors and countertops and we make sure that these are in tip-top shape.

What About the Blinds?

When it comes to blinds, however, most people forget about them. A quick dusting occasionally is about as much attention as most blinds get. Unfortunately, this is not the best way to get sanitary blinds.

A quick dusting will not get rid of all the dust and bacteria that cling to blinds – the unfortunate truth is that blinds, because of where they are, are constantly exposed to dust and germs.

What’s Wrong with a Bit of Dust?

Dust mites can breed in the dust and they can cause serious allergies. The dust can circulate quite freely from the window as well and so the mites become airborne.

Of course, if you do not clean your blinds regularly enough, the dirt can provide homes to other pests as well. Your blinds could be harboring fly eggs, cockroaches, and a whole host of other nasty things.

These insects all leave their own traces of debris which can then be circulated around the room, causing respiratory conditions, chronic allergies, et cetera.

Difficult to Diagnose

The problem with this kind of thing is that the root cause is very often difficult to diagnose. The doctor will start off by looking at what you are eating and try to determine the allergens from there. They will seldom think to ask if the blinds are dirty.

The Solution

Start off by wiping your blinds down at least once a week. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for suitable products to use. Make sure to get into all the little nooks and crannies so you don’t miss a speck of dust.

Call in a Professional

You should call in a professional to clean your blinds at least once or twice a year, and more frequently if the blinds get dirty quickly.

Professional blind cleaners use sonic cleaners as opposed to harsh chemicals. This is not only more environmentally friendly but also more efficient overall.

The process is also gentler on blinds and helps them look refreshed without causing any damage.

The best part is that all bacteria and allergens on the blinds are removed completely.

A professional cleaning at least once annually is a good way to ensure that your blinds keep looking good and stay sanitary for a lot longer.

Instead of looking to replace grubby blinds every few years, get in a professional team regularly to extend the life of the blinds that you have already.

 

Benefits of Ultrasonic Cleaning

Hands in blue gloves giving a thumbs up

Window blinds will look old in just a short amount of time as dirt and dust build-up on the slats as well as in the other components of the blinds. Regular cleaning and maintenance are vital in making sure your window blinds reach their optimum useful life. There are several benefits to using ultrasonic cleaning in removing dirt and grime from your blinds.

More Effective than Other Cleaning Methods

Ultrasonic cleaning delivers a higher level of cleaning than most part-cleaning technologies such as spray washers or oscillation parts washers that do not have ultrasonic components.

With spray washing systems, the only part areas that are thoroughly cleaned are those directly hit by the spray action. Difficult-to-reach areas will not be completely cleaned using spray washing units, even those that feature turntables or moving spray heads.

Oscillation parts washers can be effective in getting rid of light oils, shop contaminants, and coolants, but cannot remove bonded contaminants, or dirt that is thicker and tougher to remove.

Ultrasonic cleaning systems can clean the interior of holes the size of human hair or smaller. Since the action generated is microscopic in size, ultrasonic cleaning can clean details that are normally missed by other cleaning methods. Ultrasonic cleaners can also clean the interior of objects that cannot be cleaned by spray or oscillation techniques, like the inside of tubing and injection mould gas cavities.

Significantly Reduced Maintenance and Operating Costs

Spray washers need considerably more maintenance, and are more expensive to operate because of the evaporation of water. These systems also require more electricity because the cleaning fluid temperatures are normally higher in these systems. In addition, spray nozzles need periodic removal and cleaning to ensure the systems continue to function properly.

In contrast, it is very simple to maintain an ultrasonic cleaning system. It requires no specific maintenance other than making sure the tank is always clean and avoiding the buildup of contaminants on the tank bottom.

Spray washing and oscillation parts washers cannot generate very intense cleaning action, thus they need the aid of cleaning fluids. The cleaning fluids used in these systems are more aggressive than those used in ultrasonic cleaning systems. As a result, disposing of the cleaning fluids in spray washers and oscillating parts washers may be more expensive and tougher.

Ultrasonic cleaning generates a powerful cleaning action that gets rid of bonded dirt, bacteria, grease, and grime without damaging the material of window blinds. The cleaning fluid used is water-based, making it environmentally friendly, as well as safe and gentle on the slats of the blinds. Only a small amount of biodegradable detergent is used, thus significantly reducing water usage.

Instead of throwing dirty blinds away, consider sending them to a blind cleaning service that uses ultrasonic cleaning technology. This technique will ensure that your blinds will look clean and brand new once again.

Cleaning Blinds

Man Leaning on Wooden Table while looking at the window

Cleaning your blinds is a very simple process but can be time-consuming – especially if you are in a corporate environment.
Blinds cleaning is, however, very important to ensure that your blinds last that much longer.

DIY Cleaning

There are several advantages to cleaning your blinds yourself – you can assign this task as part of your cleaning staff’s regular duties and so it need not cost you any extra or you can do the job yourself.

The blinds should be dusted at least once a week and should be wiped down with a damp cloth every couple of weeks or so, depending on how dusty and dirty the area has become.

Be careful what cleaning materials you use – it is wise to check a manufacturer’s recommendations to avoid using chemicals that may damage the finish. When it comes to wooden blinds, you also need to be careful not to use a cloth that is too wet as this can cause damage to the blinds and cause them to warp.

With fabric blinds, it is important to check exactly what the manufacturer’s recommendations are. You run the risk of rubbing the dirt into the fabric or smearing it if you choose the wrong cleaners. In some cases, it may be preferable to hire professional cleaners.

Calling in a Professional

Having a professional in to clean the blinds can help to rejuvenate them and allow them to look great for longer.

A professional will not only save you the time and trouble of having to clean the blinds yourself, but they will also know exactly what methods to use to get the best results.

They have access to more specialized equipment such as ultrasonic cleaners. These work by emitting sound waves through an aqueous solution. The first set of waves creates a low-pressure front that results in the formation of bubbles.

These bubbles are then burst by the subsequent high-pressure front and dirt
is thus removed from the surface.

They will also use cleaners that are only commercially available and will be able to apply these without damaging the blinds in any way. The cost depends on the complexity of the job – it is best to phone ahead and get a quote.

The best solution is to use a combination of both methods – conduct weekly cleaning sessions and have the professionals come in every twelve months so to do a deep clean – or more often if dirt is a problem.

Just make sure to choose the best company possible to suit your needs and your blind cleaning woes will be over.

The Healthier Way to Clean Blinds

It is therefore important to preserve and take care of these window coverings that preserve and protect your privacy and valuables, whilst keeping the temperature inside your home more agreeable. If you take care of your blinds they will last longer and look good for many years.

Cleaning With Care

As there are all different kinds of blinds in various materials, it’s important to remember that what works for one kind of blind when cleaning, may not be suitable for another. It’s always a good idea to check and adhere to manufacturer recommendations when it comes to cleaning your blinds.

If you don’t plan on using any cleaning products each time you clean your blinds, there are still a few simple ways that you can clean them.

  • A clean damp cloth is a great way to clean dust and dirt from your blinds; however, this can be a little more time-consuming and if you don’t have much time or don’t wish to be spending too long on housework, there are other options.
  • A dust brush is fantastic for cleaning dust from blinds and there are even many brushes available now that are specifically designed for cleaning blinds. This is a quicker option than wiping each blind with a clean damp cloth; however, if you are prone to sneezing at the slightest sign of dust then this might not be your best option.
  • For a quick blind clean that won’t leave you sneezing, place the appropriate attachment on your vacuum cleaner and begin cleaning. The vacuum cleaner will suck up any dust so it is not left floating in the air and it is a quick and simple way to rid your blinds of dirt.

 

Professional Help

Sometimes blinds need professional help too. It is highly advisable to have them professionally cleaned at least once a year if you want them to look fantastic for years to come.

When you have your blinds cleaned by a professional you are assured that all dirt, grease, grime, and bacteria have been removed and that your blinds are guaranteed not to become a health hazard. If you would like to find out more about having your blinds cleaned to perfection click here.
