Pleated blind & Roller blind reinigen

Pleated blinds and Roller blinds sind technical blinds – they do not belong in the washing machine. In everyday use, regular vacuuming with a soft brush nozzle or careful dusting with a brush is enough.

For stains: dab with a lightly damp cloth and lukewarm water – do not rub, no aggressive cleaning agent. With the Honeycomb blind do not squeeze the honeycombs together. Better have stubborn cases cleaned professionally.

Washing fabric curtains properly

Here the Pflegeetikett decides – it is always decisive. Many high-quality decorative fabrics from JAB Anstoetz and Kvadrat are only intended for hand washing or dry cleaning , others for the delicate cycle.

  • Schonwaschgang, niedrige Temperatur, mildes Waschmittel
  • Do not spin, or only briefly
  • Leicht hang up damp – many fabrics then smooth out by themselves

When in doubt: better professional cleaning than risking an expensive fabric.

Caution with acoustic and fire-protection fabrics

Flame-retardant fabrics (B1) and acoustic textiles have a functional finish. Wrong washing can impair it. For such fabrics – e.g. acoustic qualities from Kvadrat or B1 contract fabrics – we recommend fachgerechte Reinigung and following the manufacturer’s instructions.

The 4 Grundregeln

  • Regular absaugen – that is the best care
  • Bei Flecken sofort handeln, nur tupfen
  • Pflegeetikett observe it – it beats any guide
  • Keine aggressiven Mittel, kein heisses Wasser

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

Can I put a pleated blind in the washing machine?

No. Pleated and roller blinds are technical blinds – vacuum or dab damp, do not wash.

Can JAB Anstoetz or Kvadrat fabrics be washed?

That depends on the fabric – the care label is decisive. Many premium decorative fabrics are intended for hand washing or dry cleaning.

How do I clean a curtain without washing?

Regular vacuuming with a soft nozzle and dabbing stains immediately keeps curtains fresh for a long time without washing them.

Does washing harm flame-retardant curtains?

It can impair the B1 finish. For fire-protection and acoustic fabrics we recommend professional cleaning according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
