Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

How to clean pleated blinds in RV
Permalink  

We just bought our first RV - a Monaco Diplomat 1999, it's in great shape however the pleated blinds are dusty and a bit stained.

Looking for suggestions of how to safely clean the blinds and how others maintain them over time. 

Thanks for  any help!

Jean

We had pleated day/night shades before we replaced them with MCD American Duo shades. I took them down and my wife put them in the shower and sprayed them with scrubbing bubbles. After they soaked for a while she sprayed them down with water using the shower wand. I put them outside on a picnic table partially collapsed and let them dry overnight. It worked pretty well. They looked much better.

Try OxyClean or a similar product. We soaked our pleated windshield blinds overnight in a bathtub of oxyclean with excellent results.

She's still here, Bernie.

And, it's a good thing because everyone knows that I can't cook.

 Maybe that would be a weight-loss program. Hahaha
