So these blinds have no fixed price per m². They are priced case by case, by size, mechanism and take-down, and fabric. We clean them in Riga and the Riga region; send a photo of the blind and its top part.
What is different about a Roman or roller blind
A Roman blind is a flat fabric with rods across it, and cords raise it into even folds. The rods are usually in pockets on the back of the fabric, and the cords run through rings to the mechanism at the top. In a roller blind the fabric is wound on a tube, which can be in a cassette, and it has a weight bar at the bottom.
The mechanism is not a textile, and it cannot be cleaned like fabric. So the first question is whether the fabric can be separated from the mechanism and how easy that is.
Why the price depends on the situation
- Size: the width and height of the fabric when the blind is lowered.
- Mechanism and take-down: whether the fabric can be separated from the rods, cords or tube, and whether the blind must be taken down from the window frame or the wall.
- Fabric: fibre, lining, blackout coating.
From photos and sizes, a specialist gives the price. Add photos from the front, from the back and a close-up of the top mechanism.
Cleaning and washing Roman blinds
If the rods can be pulled out of the pockets and the cords disconnected, the fabric is afterwards similar to an ordinary curtain, and its label applies. If the rods are sewn in and the cords are attached to the fabric, this must be known before the job. If a Roman blind has a lining or is made of two fabrics, photograph the back and both labels, if there are any.
At home, do not wash a Roman blind with rods in a washing machine: the rods can bend and damage the fabric. If there is a stain on the fabric, blot it with a clean cloth and do not rub.
Roller blind cleaning
The fabric of a roller blind is attached to the tube and the bottom bar. If the fabric has a blackout coating, the same heat risk applies as for blackout curtains: makers warn that heat can make the coating crack or peel off. More on the page blackout curtain cleaning.
In the request, write whether the roller blind is in a cassette, whether it is fixed to the window frame, and whether the mechanism has a chain or a motor.
Vertical and fabric blind cleaning
Fabric blinds and vertical blinds consist of separate fabric slats hanging on a track. Their price also depends on the situation. Write the number and length of the slats and add a photo. The price is set from the photo and the number of slats.
Plastic and metal blinds are not textiless, and this page is not about them.
Minimum order and pick-up
The minimum order is €45 (for cleaning only): if the total is lower, you pay €45; pick-up and travel are added. Pick-up and return in Riga costs €10 (both ways together); in the Riga region up to about 15 km from the Riga boundary it is also €10, and further out another €10 is added. Prices for ordinary curtains, if you have those cleaned too: sheers from €2.30/m², heavy curtains from €3.70/m². All prices: prices.
