Do that regularly and you&#8217;ll rarely need to go further. But when a spill happens, mould creeps in (it happens \u2014 especially in Australian bathrooms and kitchens), or the fabric just needs a proper refresh, there&#8217;s a clear escalation path: spot clean first, treat mould with a vinegar solution, and only consider machine washing or steam cleaning as a last resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide covers all of it \u2014 how to clean fabric Roman blinds, canvas Roman blinds, how to tackle mould, and when it&#8217;s genuinely time to call in the professionals. If you&#8217;ve got other types of window coverings around the house, <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/the-fantastic-guide-to-cleaning-blinds-shades\/\">check out our article on the subject<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d9dd;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f3f7;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a41;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><strong>TL;DR<\/strong> For routine maintenance, vacuum your Roman blinds in place using your vacuum cleaner&#8217;s upholstery attachment \u2014 it lifts dust without disturbing the fabric or the cords. If a stain appears, escalate from plain water to a gentle detergent to a specialist stain remover, always testing on a hidden spot first. Mould calls for a different approach: mix 1 part white vinegar to 4 parts water, take the blinds down, spray, blot, and \u2014 crucially \u2014 let them dry completely before rehanging. Machine washing and steam cleaning are options of last resort, not first response. Still not shifting? That&#8217;s what professional blind cleaners are for.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d9dd;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f3f7;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3>In this article:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#How_to_clean_Roman_blinds_the_easy_way\">How to clean Roman blinds the easy way?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#How_to_remove_stains_and_mould_from_Roman_blinds\">How to remove stains from Roman blinds?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#How_to_clean_mould_off_Roman_blinds\">How to clean mould off Roman blinds?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#Can_you_wash_Roman_blinds_in_the_washing_machine\">Can you wash Roman blinds in the washing machine?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#Can_you_steam_clean_Roman_blinds\">Can you steam clean Roman Blinds?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#Takeaways\">Takeaways<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How_to_clean_Roman_blinds_the_easy_way\">How to clean Roman blinds the easy way?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to clean Roman blinds at home is to make the job part of your regular household cleaning schedule. Preventing dirt from building up in the first place is much more effective than trying to remove it once it&#8217;s ingrained. You don&#8217;t need any specialist tools or cleaning products, there&#8217;s no need to take the blinds down and it shouldn&#8217;t take you very long either.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e5e5;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a41;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\">\n<p><strong>What you will need:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> A feather duster or microfibre cloth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> A vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Steps (if your windows are high and you can&#8217;t reach the top of the blinds without them)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-how-to wp-block-yoast-how-to-block\"><p class=\"schema-how-to-description\">How to clean Roman Blinds at home \u2013 step by step guide<\/p> <ol class=\"schema-how-to-steps\"><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1647518809067\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Extend the blinds.<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Fully open the blinds and hold at the bottom to keep the fabric taut.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1647518823270\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Brush or vacuum.<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Start at the top and work across and down the blinds so that you&#8217;re not brushing dust over areas you&#8217;ve already cleaned.

Assuming it won&#8217;t, move onto the stain and blot that. If the stain is recent and light this may be all you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 2 \u2013 Try a little detergent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Add dish soap or a laundry detergent designed for hand-washing delicate fabrics. Blot as above. Resist the temptation to rub the fabric. If the detergent works, finish with fresh water. Keep your towel well wrung out to avoid soiling the fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 3 \u2013 A specialist stain remover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s impossible to recommend a specific product as different Roman blinds are made of different fabrics and different stain removers work on different sorts of stains. For linen or cotton Roman blinds, choose an enzyme-based remover; for polyester, a mild oxygen-based product is safer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the care instructions on the blind before buying the remover, mix it according to the instructions and test on a hidden part of the blind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve established that the product won&#8217;t damage the fabric, apply it to the stain \u2014 you can use a soft brush to work the product in if you need to. An old toothbrush is ideal. And if you&#8217;ve got roller blinds rather than Roman blinds, the stain-removal approach is a little different \u2014 our <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/how-to-clean-roller-blinds\/\">roller blinds cleaning guide<\/a> covers exactly what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d9dd;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f3f7;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a41;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/how-to-clean-roller-blinds\/\">How to Clean Roller Blinds<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How_to_clean_mould_off_Roman_blinds\">How to clean mould off Roman blinds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most effective DIY treatment for mould on Roman blinds is a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 4 parts water, applied by spray bottle with the blinds taken down and laid flat. It&#8217;s a straightforward process \u2014 but skip the drying step and the mould will be back before you know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mould on Roman blinds is surprisingly common in Australian homes, particularly in bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens where steam and humidity build up fast. Roman blinds trap that moisture in their fabric folds \u2014 and once mould takes hold, a regular vacuum won&#8217;t touch it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e5e5;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a41;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\">\n<p><strong>What you&#8217;ll need:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> White vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> A spray bottle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> A soft brush<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Clean towels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Borax (optional alternative to vinegar)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#c10063;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#db007d;border-color:#ffccff;color:#ffffff;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><strong>Warning:<\/strong> Never mix white vinegar and borax in the same solution \u2014 use one or the other. Work in a ventilated area when treating mould, and wear gloves to protect your skin.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Before you start:<\/strong> take the blinds outside and use a soft brush to gently sweep away any loose mould spores. Do this outdoors \u2014 you don&#8217;t want to scatter spores through your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vinegar method:<\/strong> mix 1 part white vinegar to 4 parts water and pour it into a spray bottle. Lay the blinds flat and spray the solution generously over the affected area. Leave it to sit for a few minutes, then blot \u2014 don&#8217;t rub \u2014 with a clean towel. If the mould is stubborn, leave the solution for a little longer (check the care label first). Once the mould lifts, rinse the area with fresh water and blot dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Borax alternative:<\/strong> if you&#8217;d prefer not to use vinegar, dissolve half a cup of borax in two cups of hot water. Apply by spraying or dabbing on with a clean cloth or sponge, then rinse with fresh water and blot as above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Drying is non-negotiable:<\/strong> hang the blinds fully extended in a well-ventilated spot \u2014 outdoors in indirect sunlight is ideal \u2014 and let them dry completely before rehanging.

Spot clean where possible. If machine washing is unavoidable, remove all cords, select a delicate cold-water cycle, and air dry flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s much better to <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/sydney\/blind-cleaning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clean blinds regularly<\/a> so that they never get dirty enough to need machine washing \u2014 but if you must use the washer, remove all cords first, use a delicate cycle with cold water, and don&#8217;t spin or tumble dry.
