Cleaning horizontal and vertical curtains can vary depending on the material and type of curtains you have. Here are some general tips:
Horizontal curtains (such as Venetian blinds):
Dust: Use a feather duster, microfiber cloth or vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to remove dust from the blades.
Damp cleaning: Wipe the blades with a damp cloth. Be sure not to over-wet to avoid water damage.
Vertical curtains (such as vertical blinds):
Vacuum cleaner: Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to remove dust.
Wet cleaning: For washable fabrics, remove and wash according to manufacturer's instructions. For non-washable materials, use a damp cloth or sponge with a mild detergent.
General advice:
Avoid aggressive chemicals: Use mild cleaning products to avoid damaging materials.
Test first: Before applying a cleaning product, test it on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure there will be no discoloration or damage.
Dry properly: When cleaning washable curtains, be sure to dry them completely before putting them back up to prevent mildew.
Enjoy the sun: Let curtains dry in the sun if possible, as the sun has natural disinfectant properties.
