  • We recommend cleaning the blind with a soft cloth and soapy cold water. Sunscreen mesh blinds are generally less sensitive than pvc blinds, but should always be treated with care. They’re designed to withstand tough Australian weather conditions. Always allow the blind to dry before rolling up to ensure moisture is not trapped within the layers of the rolled up blind. This moisture can damage the blind material over time. Generally, we recommend that bird droppings are cleaned off any blind surface asap and that bore water does not contact the blind. Never allow petrochemicals or solvents to touch the blind surface and don’t use a high pressure hose to clean the blind. Window cleaning detergents should also be avoided.
