Caring for Your Roller Blinds

Regular Cleaning

  • Weekly: Dust with a soft brush or microfibre cloth
  • Monthly: Vacuum with brush attachment on low suction
  • As needed: Spot clean with damp cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid: Harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners

Most fabrics can be lightly sponged while still mounted. For deep cleaning, consult our care guide or contact us for professional cleaning services.

Prolonging Lifespan

  • Operate smoothly: Don't force or yank chains/cords
  • Full extension: Occasionally roll fully to prevent fabric settling
  • Wind protection: Raise blinds during strong Cape Town winds
  • Lubrication: Mechanism check annually (we offer service visits)

With proper care, quality roller blinds can last 10-15 years. Harsh coastal conditions may reduce this to 7-10 years.
