Cleaning roller shutters is not easy at first glance, except with a little method and these simple to use products.
The dry weather announced and which is verified at the start of April gives a good reason to take care of your garden or start the big spring cleaning of its interior. Among the painful stains that we postpone far too often, or that we simply forget is the cleaning of roller shutters. Pollution, mold, dirt are deposited there and can ultimately give an unattractive and neat character to your accommodation. They can also interfere with the operation of your roller shutters.
Often white or black, the roller shutters unfortunately allow traces of wear, dust or mold quickly, especially after winter. The humidity does not mix in the long run with the coating of roller shutters, whether in PVC, aluminum or wood.
Do you imagine this painful and tedious task? Maintaining roller shutters can sometimes seem useless or long, but with the right tips, it can be done quickly and effectively. Unlike beating shutters, roller shutters, however, require a little more attention to avoid damaging their delicate mechanism.
To effectively clean these strips, several household products options are available to you. Black soap is particularly recommended but white vinegar, baking soda or dishwashing liquid can also produce good results. Specialist in roller shutters, the Tryba company recommends mixing a few drops of white vinegar with soapy water and soaking a sponge of this mixture.
No matter the product you choose, dilute it in all cases with water and use a soft sponge to gently rub the surfaces. For difficult to access places, opt instead for a soft bristle brush and soak it with the cleaning mixture of your choice before gently rubs each corner of the shutter. In any case, avoid the abrasive sponges which could cause micro-scratches on the shutter material, particularly on dust, earth or sand from the Sahara wind have dropped off on your shutters. Then rinse your shutters.
To access each blade and do a deep cleaning, you can also use a toothbrush to gently rub the inside of the grooves, taking care not to neglect the intervals between the blades. Also remember to clean the rails on each side as well as the trunk at the top of the shutter. Once the cleaning is finished, rinse abundantly with clear water and allow to dry completely before going up the roller shutter. And it’s (already) finished! Your roller shutters will be ready for sunny days.
