Manufacturers recommend cleaning this type of curtains with a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush. It is better to carry out these activities weekly, so that the curtains are not soiled to such an extent that they can be cleaned only by wetting.

In some models of roller blinds canvases have anti-fungal coating. Such can be wet. If dirt has appeared on the fabric, it can be wiped slightly with a soft sponge dipped in soapy water. After that, clean water to wash off the detergent and dry the curtain. Wet product can not be twisted.

We must not forget that the construction mechanism must also be cleaned of dust and at least once a year all loops should be lubricated with a special agent.
