Maintaining Your Vinyl Windows with Integral Blinds (for house windows with built in blinds)

Vinyl Windows

One of the most popular options when it comes to buying something eco-friendly, as well as aesthetically pleasing, is vinyl windows with integral blinds. These windows are incredibly popular for all those looking for something stylish on a budget. Using two panes of glass (double pane windows), these windows sandwich the blinds, giving a wonderfully clear look to the complete aesthetic of the house.

However, for those accustomed to the traditional window options, maintaining these beautiful windows may seem a bit of a challenge at first. To help out, we at Oridow give out some tips on how you can maintain your vinyl windows with integral blinds.

Tips on Maintenance

Contrary to what many believe, house windows with built in blinds do not give you a free pass to skip out on the cleaning.

  1. Every couple of years, it is recommended to wash the glass as it gets a smokey look, even if it is thoroughly sealed.
  2. To keep the glass clean from the outside, always use a soft cleaner once a week to keep it looking new.
  3. Check to make sure that small ventilating holes are properly drilled in the door frame so that there is no danger of your window getting warped from the inside. This will also make your window’s energy efficient.
  4. Make sure to have a professional install the windows. Improper installation can lead to a break in the seal or even cracks in the insulated glass (which spoils the energy efficiency). Dust and condensation can cause numerous problems to your blinds; since it can be difficult to clean them off, it can be expensive to replace them.

How To Clean Your Window Blinds

Since window blinds have increased in popularity (just like front doors) to the extent that they have, the question of how best to clean and maintain them has also come into the spotlight.

The styles of curtains have changed quite a little over the years, but at the same time, blinds have become an essential component of the contemporary home with patio doors. This directly affects how tastefully they are designed to improve curb appeal and how well they perform their functions.

Regular cleaning is an absolute need for the upkeep of every component of the household that requires attention. Without the appropriate cleaning, none of these things will last as long as they should, whether blinds for front doors, windows or furniture.

Using the brush attachment on your vacuum and giving the blinds a thorough once over at regular intervals can ensure that they remain spotless. You should shut the slats to get the possible surface area when doing this.

Sponging

When it comes to curtain patterns, some light-colored ones might wind up with filthy finger stains and spots, thanks to the use of the technique. The same thing holds for blinds with lighter shade colors. Spot cleaning with a sponge and some warm water may greatly assist in such circumstances.

Bathing

Removing and cleaning the blinds in a bucket or bathtub filled with warm soapy water is best if the blinds have become filthy. This may be done if the blinds have been removed. You may submerge the blinds, but you should not keep them in the water for an extended period. You should clean them as you go to prevent any harm from occurring to them.

Caring for your blinds will be simple and something you can accomplish independently if you follow these straightforward procedures. Taking in this work will ensure that your blinds have a long lifespan, retain their luster, and seem as if they were just purchased.

How Can I Clean the Space Between the Glass and the Blinds or Shades?

To keep your snap-in between-the-glass Slimshade® blinds clean, please do the following:

  • First, ensure that the blinds are open and in the horizontal position, and then open the glass panel that hinges on the side.
  • Use a vacuum cleaner equipped with an upholstery brush attachment to remove dust.
  • Use a moist cloth to remove smudges, fingerprints, and other types of marks, or remove the blinds from the unit delicately and place them in a container or tray filled with tepid water and a little detergent.
  • Before reinstalling them and shutting the hinged glass panel, give them a last rinsing in clean water and set them aside to air dry entirely.

Cleaning Between-The-Glass Fabric Cellular Shades

Use a vacuum cleaner equipped with an upholstery brush attachment to remove dust. Use a moist cloth and wipe the surface thoroughly to eliminate smudges, fingerprints, and other types of marks.

Never use abrasive cleaning products or ammonia since doing so can ruin the cloth. If any threads are exposed, clip them and seal them with a fray-check solution, which can be found in most fabric shops. This will help prevent the fabric from fraying.

Before you close the hinged glass panel, you should raise the shades once you have cleaned and dried them.

How to Properly Care for Roman Blinds

One of the most common styles of window covering for interior windows is the Roman blind. They not only have an appealing appearance, but also they are incredibly simple to clean when they become dirty. Because of the way the Roman blind is constructed, it is extremely easy to assemble, remove from the window, and requires very little care.

Certain Roman blind makers recommend that the fabric of the blind be washed regularly. If you wish to do the task independently, put your washing machine on the delicate cycle, adjust the temperature to a low setting, and disable the spin cycle. Use a gentle cleanser to stop the color of the blind from deteriorating.

Never put your Roman blind in the dryer or iron it; doing any of those things might ruin the fabric. It is best to leave it unrolled so that it may dry in its natural state to avoid any distortion.

Always remember to clean the mechanism of your window blind whenever you clean the blind itself. You may do this by wetting a cloth with water and a gentle detergent and then drying it out afterward.

How to Clean Window Blinds That Have Pleats

Roman and pleated window blinds are two of the most stylish options when covering windows from the room’s interior. It is essential to exercise proper care for the blinds’ pleated structure if one wants them to retain their pristine appearance over time.

In this specific scenario, using a vacuum is of utmost significance. It is important to remove dust off furniture at least once every week by vacuuming with a vacuum cleaner that has a soft nozzle, using a dusting broom, or wiping it off with a cloth. Particular attention should be paid to thoroughly clean the fabric’s folds since this is where most pollution occurs.

Concluding Thoughts

Vinyl windows with built-in blinds have been proven to be a cost-cutting and eco-friendly solution for all those looking to have proper fittings in their home. And by using these great tips, you can use these windows for your home for a long time without having to deal with any problem.
