We strongly recommend you use the following methods when cleaning your blinds!

All VELUX and Solstro decoration and sunscreening products are made for a lifetime of wear-resistant performance. As many of the fabrics are specially treated to repel dust and dirt, the blinds do not tend to get dirty. However, cleaning your blind can be a good idea, if you wish to ensure the best day-lighting experience. Get our best tips on how to clean, maintain and take care of blind in this article.

Dusting
Regular dusting maintains a like-new appearance of most blinds & shading.

Vacuuming
Vacuum gently with a brush attachment of any vacuum cleaner.

Spot-Cleaning
Spot-clean shades and blinds with a soft cloth or sponge moistened with lukewarm water. Dab gently to avoid creasing or damaging the fabric. Rubbing can damage fabrics.

Aluminum Blinds
Reduce build-up of static electricity by applying a very thin film of detergent on all slats and vanes.

Tips About Fabrics
Do not use magnetic cleaners such as a dusting mitt on room-darkening fabrics. This will damage the roomdarkening backing.
When cleaning any window, apply the cleaner to a cloth rather than spraying directly onto the window. This will prevent damage to the fabrics by splattering cleaning fluid. While some fabric shades/shadings may seem perfect for outdoor use, all of them can be recommended for indoor use only.

VELUX blinds are designed for roof windows so they do not tend to get as dirty as other blinds around the house but they will require cleaning at some point.
