What’s the Proper Way of Cleaning Window Blinds?

There are two types of facility owners and managers in the world right now– those who pay attention to their window blinds and those who take them for granted.

After some time, window treatments in the office or business are bound to accumulate dead bugs, discoloration, dander, dust, and all sorts of unsavory residue. Things only get worse if you consider how most blinds are white in color that makes stains stick out like that embarrassing sore thumb.

If you have finally made up your mind to give your window blinds that much needed deep clean, a complete commercial cleaning service can help you out.

Cleaning Blinds and Drapery with No Need to Take Them Down

There are times when it is necessary to take down the blinds. But in an office setting, doing so can be a serious hassle.

Commercial cleaners wipe down or vacuum blinds before cleaning them. It helps ensure that dust as well as other loose particles will be removed. Applying wet cloth right away without wiping or vacuuming the blinds will result in the spread of the residues that can only make matters worse.

After this, they will use a microfiber cloth or wool duster to dust every slat. It is during this step when lots of dust is often picked up. Plastic dusters are not recommended to be used on blinds since they can create scratches.

The best janitorial services Dallas expertly clean both sides of the blinds to ensure that no dirt or dust will be left behind.

Cleaning Faux Wood or Wooden Blinds

Wooden or faux wood blinds are often left in their place when cleaning instead of going through the hassle of removing one slat after another. Expert commercial cleaning services never recommend submerging faux wood blinds and Venetian wooden blinds in water as this can ruin them. They simply use a small amount of water after wiping down or vacuuming the blinds. The water is just enough to slightly damp the blinds and get rid of stains. This is also the easiest method they use on mildly dirty plastic blinds.

Cleaning Fabric Drapes and Blinds

Dry sponges are used to remove dust as well as other debris from window drapes. When it comes to stains, drapery and curtains may require dry cleaning or the use of professional equipment of expert janitorial services Dallas.

How to Spot Clean Business or Office Window Treatments

To effectively spot clean the window treatments in an office or business, dry rags are used and sprayed with an all-purpose cleaner. The slats are held individually for targeting specific stains and using enough force for removing silt. To ensure that there are no fingerprint smudges left on the blinds, commercial cleaners wear gloves when cleaning.

Window blinds are among those parts of an office or business premise that should never be taken for granted. If you can use some help with cleaning your blinds or your office as a whole, look no further than Courtesy Building Services, Inc.
