Many house owners prefer to cover their patios with suitable blinds to maintain the privacy of the family members while relaxing in the patios. The blinds also obstruct the direct sunlight and cold air in winters from entering the house. The patios also remain cleaner due to the blockage of the entry of dust and dirt carried by air, because of the presence of blinds. So, it is essential to clear patio blinds regularly that may increase the longevity of these useful home furnishing products.

Procedures to clear patio blinds of different types:
- While cleaning a patio blind, it is necessary to clear the both sides of it thoroughly. You can roll up the blind in order to clean it in a proper manner. As most of the blinds are made of water-resistant materials, these can be cleaned simply with water and a piece of soft fabric. The regular wiping with damp cloth or sponge, and drying off the blinds keep them in a good condition for many years.
- In case of the blinds made of aluminium or vinyl, each slat of the blind should be cleaned separately with a damp cloth or a soft brush that is used for dusting. The accumulated dust on these blind slats may also be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, by moving the cleaner individually over both sides of each slat. If this type of blind is wiped with a wet cloth, then it should be air-dried by rolling down the blind that opens up the slats.
- If the blind is made of PVC, a little amount of mild detergent should be added to lukewarm water, to clear patio blinds thoroughly. The PVC blinds should successfully have cleaned without causing any scratch or other kinds of damage to the blind slats.

- There are some special cleaning agents that are available in the market and can be used for fast cleaning of the patio blinds. However, it should be checked that the chemical present in the chosen agent does not react or leave any abrasive marks on the material of the blind. All varieties of petrochemicals that are used for household cleaning should be avoided to clear patio blinds, to avoid all kinds of negative effects on the blinds.
- The homemaker should be careful not to use any kind of powerful detergent or harsh soap or harmful chemical for cleaning the blinds. All kinds of insecticides and garden sprays should be kept away from these blinds, due to the risks of odd marks that may be created on the blinds by these chemicals.
- If any hard dirt, like bird droppings are seen on the blind slat; it should be either cleaned immediately or may be moistened by adding a few drops of water on it. Then, that place needs to be rubbed gently with a piece of cloth, without exerting any extra pressure that may otherwise break the blind slat.
- All the blinds should be either wiped with a dry cloth or air-dried after cleaning it with water, so that no moisture remains trapped in the blind slats when it is rolled up. The blinds should not be cleaned with the water of a hose of the garden, even if it may seem to be an easier option.
