Can anyone advise how I can whiten/clean vertical blinds please? I don’t know if they’re machine washable because they were here when I moved here

I’ve literally just taken mine out of the washing machine! First time I’ve tried it. Worked really well on a delicate wash xx

I’ve washed mine in the washing machine several times and they’ve been ok. It is recommended to roll them up and put an elastic band around them or I’d say roll them and put them inside socks x

I did mine at the weekend in the bath with washing powder with the weights and chains. Put them between 2 towels to soak off the excess and put them back up wet. They came and clean and perfectly straight

Take chains and weights off. Roll them up and put into a pillow case. Wash in the washing machine. Hang straight back up.

I loosely rolled mine up in a pillow case knotted and put them on a 30 minute cycle. Hung them back up damp. Came out lovely
