Homemade cleaners are an economical and environmentally friendly way to clean the fabric of vertical blinds. Here are some common homemade cleaner recipes and how to make them:
1. White vinegar and water cleaner
Ingredients:
White vinegar
Water
How to make:
Mix white vinegar and water in a 1:1 ratio.
Put the mixture in a spray bottle for easy spraying.
How to use:
Before use, remove dust from the surface of the window with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
Spray the cleaner evenly on the blades and tracks of the blinds.
Wait a few minutes for the cleaner to fully penetrate and break down the stains.
Use a clean rag or sponge to wipe the blades and tracks until they are clean.
Note:
White vinegar is slightly acidic, but it usually does not cause damage to most blind materials. However, it is recommended to test a small area in an inconspicuous place before use.
Be gentle when wiping, and avoid excessive force that may cause deformation or damage to the blades.
2. Orange and white vinegar cleaner
Ingredients:
Oranges (4)
Water (1.5 cups)
White vinegar (1/4 cup)
How to make:
Cut the oranges into small pieces and add to water and boil until the water volume is reduced by half.
Add white vinegar and continue to boil for 3 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a blender and crush it until it becomes a yellow liquid.
After the liquid cools, put it into a spray bottle.
How to use:
Similar to the white vinegar water cleaner, remove the dust first.
Spray the cleaner on the blinds, wait a moment and wipe it clean.
Note:
The natural oils and acids in the orange peels help remove stains, but it is also necessary to test it on a small area before use.
The liquid crushed by the blender may contain tiny particles, so be careful not to clog the nozzle when using it.
3. Alcohol water cleaner
Ingredients:
Alcohol (70% concentration of medical alcohol is recommended)
Water
How to make:
Mix alcohol and water in a 1:1 ratio.
Place in a spray bottle for later use.
Directions:
Also remove dust first.
Spray alcohol-water cleaner on the blinds, especially for stubborn stains such as oil.
Alcohol evaporates quickly, so wipe quickly and evenly.
Precautions:
Alcohol is flammable and should be kept away from fire when making and using it.
Alcohol may cause damage to blinds made of certain materials (such as certain plastics or coatings), so be sure to test it on a small area before use.
Homemade cleaners are an affordable and environmentally friendly way to clean vertical blind fabrics. It is important to choose the right cleaner formula based on the type of stain and the material of the blind. Before using any cleaner, it is recommended to test it on a small area in an inconspicuous area to ensure safety and effectiveness. At the same time, be careful to wipe gently during the cleaning process to avoid damaging the blades and tracks of the blinds.
