There are a few different methods you can try to remove stains and mould from Roman blinds, the best one for your situation will depend on the nature of the staining and the type of fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To preserve the fabric and avoid causing damage with your cleaning efforts, start with the gentlest cleaning solution that might be effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always check and follow the care instructions of the Roman blinds before starting any cleaning.<\/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>Tools and products to remove stains from roman blinds:<\/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> Water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Gentle detergents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Stain removers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> White wine vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Borax solution<\/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> 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<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1 \u2013 Blot with fresh water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the blinds still in place, dampen a clean towel and gently blot the blinds, start with an unobtrusive area to make sure the water won&#8217;t leave a mark. 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.<\/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, you can use a soft brush to work the product in if you need to. An old toothbrush is ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 4 \u2013 How to clean mould off Roman blinds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mix a cleaning solution of 1 part white vinegar to 4 parts water. Put this in a spray bottle. Take the blinds down and lay them flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spray the solution over the blinds and leave it to sit for a few minutes then blot away the solution, and see if the mould lifts. If this doesn&#8217;t work you can leave the solution for longer assuming the care instructions on the blinds don&#8217;t indicate otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the mould is lifted clean the area with fresh water and allow your Roman blinds to dry completely before rehanging them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 5 \u2013 Use borax solution to clean fabric Roman blinds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As an alternative to white vinegar, you can use a solution of half a cup of borax to two cups of hot water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apply this by spraying or using a clean cloth or sponge. Rinse with fresh water as described above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the minimum amount of water required to remove the cleaning solution and let the blinds dry completely before rehanging them at the window.<\/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=\"Can_you_wash_Roman_blinds_in_the_washing_machine\">Can you wash Roman blinds in the washing machine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In theory, it&#8217;s sometimes possible to wash some fabric blinds in the washing machine.
