Here are a few tips to remember when it comes to deciding which blinds to use for each room:

1. When looking for blinds for your bedroom, consider choosing block out blinds as they block out the light and make your room dark so you get a good night’s sleep!


2. If you’d like to have a lovely view, but block out the light, you might want to consider roller window blinds; they’ll reduce the glare and filter the sun rays.

3. When it comes to your office, bathroom or kitchen, Venetian blinds are your best bet. The horizontal slats will allow you to have privacy and control how much light enters the room, plus they’re durable and resistant to moisture.

5. If you have small children at home, always choose blinds that are child-safe to install in their room.

How to clean your mini blinds without taking them down

Clean mini blinds without taking them down to avoid leaving windows uncovered. Blinds collect dust, insect debris and stains from spills and splatters. Window coverings and pull strings can also get discoloured over time. Even routine house cleaning like dusting and window washing can soil the blinds. If they’re taken down to be washed in a tub or sprayed outdoors, they have to dry before going back over the window. Step 1. Open the blinds and let them down all the way. Pull the bottom out from the windowsill and let it fall to expose all the slats. Step 2. Vacuum the loose dust of the slats. Use a brush attachment on the end of the hose and vacuum as much dirt off the tops and bottoms of the slats as possible. Step 3. Pour an ounce of antibacterial soap into a bucket with half a gallon of warm water. Slid the cloth around the slat and slide it from side to side. Do this with each and every one. Do not forget to clean the pull strings as well. The bleach and wat

On the other hand, faux wood blinds are made out of composite PVC and come in a range of different colours, paints, and stains. If you choose a stained look for your faux wooden blinds then it’ll have a more realistic wood look. If you want to install wooden blinds in your bathroom t
