Venetian aluminium blind cleaning
Venetian aluminium blind cleaning is a slat-by-slat clean of metal Venetian blinds. Dust sits on each louvre; if it is left, the finish greys and the tilt mechanism feels stiff. The work covers the slats, tapes or cords, and the rail — not a quick wipe of the front face only.
Who it is for
Homeowners with living-room or bedroom Venetians, landlords between tenancies, and offices that still use classic metal slats.
What Venetian aluminium blinds are
Venetian blinds are stacked horizontal slats. On this service the slats are aluminium: light, easy to tilt, and common in UK houses and workplaces. They collect dust on the top of every slat and along the edges where the cord passes through.
Who needs this clean
- Rooms where blinds stay half-closed for most of the day
- Properties that have not had the slats cleaned for a long stretch
- Kitchens only if grease is light — heavy grease is a separate kitchen job
- Offices that still specify metal Venetians at the windows
How the process works
- You send the number of blinds, sizes if you have them, and the rooms.
- We confirm whether a standard clean or a deeper method is needed.
- Slats are cleaned so dirt is lifted rather than pushed along the louvre.
- Cords, tapes and the bottom rail are included.
- Blinds are checked so they tilt and lift after the visit.
What is included
- Cleaning of aluminium Venetian slats
- Attention to tapes, cords and the headrail
- A final check that the blind operates
- Residential or workplace visits, quoted before booking
What this service is not
It is not a general house clean, and it is not a repair service for snapped cords or bent slats. Wooden, fabric or plastic blinds are outside the aluminium focus — describe mixed sets on the form and we will say what we can take on.
Residential and workplace use
The same method applies in a flat as in a meeting room. Access and timing change; the slats do not. Mention if the property is occupied, vacant, or a workplace so the visit can be planned.
How often to book
There is no fixed calendar. Book when the slats look dull, feel dusty, or drop grey residue onto the cill. South-facing rooms and busy living rooms usually need it sooner than spare bedrooms.
What affects the quote
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Number and width of blinds | More slats and wider drops take longer |
| How soiled they are | Sticky or long-neglected slats take more work |
| Room type | Kitchens with grease may need the kitchen service instead |
| Access | Upper floors, occupied offices and out-of-hours visits can change timing |
Questions about this service
Can aluminium Venetian slats be cleaned without taking the blind down?
Often yes. Some jobs are done in place; others are better taken down. That is decided when we know the size, fixing and how dirty the blinds are.
Will cleaning stop the slats looking patchy?
Uneven dust is the usual cause of a patchy look. Cleaning evens the finish. Permanent marks, oxidisation or bent slats will still show — we will be straight about that if you send a photo.
Do you clean the cords as well as the slats?
Yes. Cords and tapes collect dust and are part of a Venetian clean, not an optional extra on this service.
