### The Job Everyone Puts Off
Blinds are **dust magnets**. Every slat, every vertical vane, covered in a grey film you don't really notice until the sun hits them at the right angle. Then suddenly you realise your whole house looks grubby.
Cleaning them is tedious, time-consuming, and awkward. Hence why people call me.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Dirty blinds block more light than you think. A proper clean can make a room noticeably brighter without changing anything else.

Good to Know
> 🎯 **Combined with window cleaning:** Often done together - clean windows show dirty blinds, clean blinds show dirty windows. Book both and save on the callout charge. **Really grimy blinds?** If they're in a kitchen and covered in greasy grime, or haven't been cleaned in years, they might need removing and soaking. I can do this but it adds time (and therefore cost). **Damaged or broken blinds?** If I notice broken slats, seized mechanisms, or missing parts while cleaning, I'll let you know. I can often order and fit replacement parts separately.
Frequently Asked Questions about Blind cleaning in Ottery St Mary
What types of blinds can you clean?
Venetian (those horizontal slat ones), vertical blinds, roller blinds, faux wood blinds. Pretty much anything except Roman blinds - those usually need professional dry cleaning.
How do you clean venetian blinds?
Each slat gets wiped individually with a damp microfibre cloth - tedious but effective. For really grimy ones, I can take them down and clean them in the bath then rehang them (takes longer obviously).
What about vertical blinds?
Each vane gets wiped down while hanging. If they're fabric and really dirty, they might need dry cleaning which I can't do - but for normal dust and grime, a good wipe works wonders.
Can you do this regularly?
Yes - lots of people have it done every few months as part of a deep clean. Blinds accumulate dust surprisingly fast, especially if you have pets or live near a road.
Will you bring cleaning materials?
Yes - microfibre cloths, gentle cleaner, everything needed. Some blinds (like wood or faux wood) need specific cleaners, which I carry.
