The Basic Structure of a Roman Blind
Roman blinds are different from standard window blinds in that they stack up evenly when opened. However, when they are open they are visibly smooth, not bumpy or ribbed like typical vertical shades or blinds.
Unlike other blinds such as roller, vertical, and Venetian blinds, Romans offer no option to protect against high temperatures or moisture, making them unsuitable for bathrooms. Fortunately, clever use of Roman Blinds can help keep your house cool and your bills in check. The Department of Energy says that smart management of window coverings can reduce heat gain by up to 77%. And, as a bonus, these same practices can reduce heat loss in the winter.

While Roman blind fabrics should always be handled with care, they can be kept clean and dust-free by using a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment. Regular maintenance will prevent you from having to deep clean your blinds more frequently. Regularly dust, or vacuum your blinds with a brush attachment. If your blinds are machine washable, wash at a temperature no higher than 30 degrees. The easiest way to do this is with a vacuum cleaner brush attachment. Alternatively, if you do not have one available, a microfiber cloth will work perfectly well. Whichever method you use, wipe down your fabric blinds. Then, soak your sponge in soap and water.
