How to clean your blinds and curtains for your bond clean

When preparing for a bond clean, cleaning your blinds and curtains is essential to ensure you get your full deposit back. Start by dusting your blinds with a microfiber cloth or duster to remove surface dust. For vertical or horizontal blinds, use a mixture of warm water and a small amount of mild detergent, and wipe each slat with a cloth. For fabric curtains, check the care label for cleaning instructions—some can be washed in the machine, while others may require dry cleaning. If machine washing is an option, use a gentle cycle with cold water. If they need to be dry cleaned, take them to a professional. After cleaning, ensure both blinds and curtains are thoroughly dry to avoid any mold or musty odors. A fresh and spotless window treatment will leave your rental property looking its best for your bond inspection.
