Can I machine wash vertical blinds?

[nina19877]

Just as the title says really. My 2yo has got his chocolate fingers on a few of my vertical blinds and ive tried to wipe it off but no luck just wondering if they can go in the washing machine?

I'd take off the individual grubby ones and give them and spritz and scrub on the drainingboard, and out on the line to drip

I think you will ruin the texture and body (iykwim) of the fabric if they go in the machine.

Thank you. Will give it a try.

Some are machine washable but most not. When you've done your best with the stains can you swap the vanes so the marked ones are less visible, maybe at the sides?

I think my mum usually washes hers in the machine, she ties rubber bands round each end and puts them in pillow cases to stop them getting tangled and twisted.
