From initial online query, to Mark coming out to measure and offer advice & finally to Richard fitting blinds to eight windows, I couldn’t be happier. A professional, efficient, personable service. Would unhesitatingly recommend!

We had a great experience with this company. From first contact to the onsite appointment to measure to the end installation. All was done professionally, providing us with accurate times when the shutters would be ready and installed. A great experience and would highly recommend to anyone. We are super happy with the end product and installation. No negative points at all!

3 Essential Steps for Pristine Day and Night Blinds!

Maintaining your Day and Night blinds, or Aura Blinds, involves using the right cleaning techniques to preserve their appearance and functionality. Their delicate fabric and layered structure require careful handling. Follow these steps to keep your blinds looking their best:

3 Essential Steps for Pristine Day and Night Blinds!

Step 1 – Light Cleaning with a Duster

Regular dusting is essential to keep your Day and Night blinds free from dust and dirt.

  • Gentle Dusting: Use a lint-free cloth or feather duster to gently clean the surface of the blinds.
  • Clean Both Layers: Since these blinds have two fabric layers, clean both the front and back. Start by dusting the front section of the blind at the bottom, then dust the back section at the top. Use the sidewinder control to reveal the next section and repeat this process until the entire blind is dust-free.
  • Focus on Key Areas: Pay extra attention to areas that tend to collect dust, such as the headrail, edges, and the bottom of the blind where it meets the windowsill.
  • Avoid Using a Vacuum: Refrain from using a vacuum cleaner, even with a brush attachment, as the suction can damage or fray the delicate fabric. Also, avoid steam cleaning, which may harm the material.

Step 2 – Treating Marks or Stubborn Stains

For more challenging stains, follow these steps to clean your blinds safely:

  • Use a Damp Sponge or Cloth: Dampen a non-abrasive sponge or cloth with lukewarm water. Ensure the sponge is just damp and not soaked to avoid damaging the fabric.
  • Careful Wiping: Gently wipe the stained area, being careful not to apply too much pressure that might damage the fabric’s structure.
  • Allow to Dry Naturally: After removing the stain, extend the blind fully and let it air dry naturally before retracting it.

Step 3 – Maintaining the Chain Mechanism

Keeping the mechanical parts in good condition is crucial for the smooth operation of your blinds.

  • Apply Silicone Spray: Use a small amount of silicone spray on the operating chain to reduce resistance and prevent stiffness. Be careful not to spray on the fabric to avoid discolouration.
  • Follow Manufacturer Instructions: Always adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines when applying silicone spray to ensure safe and effective maintenance.
