The second is that it can reach even the highest places since the rod is about 60 inches long. In this tutorial, some useful tips are given on cleaning roller shutters and blinds with this accessory.

Before using the mop for cleaning shutters and shutters, it is essential to obtain a series of natural products. They are readily available in the home; it is advisable to choose them among those degreasing, slightly abrasive, and descaling and polishing.

An example of these products is respectively: vinegar, baking soda, lemon, and straw oil.

With these products, you can clean with the mop and use them on surfaces in sequence. Now let’s see which products to use during the various phases.

For a degreasing action, the most suitable is vinegar; the latter must be diluted in distilled water and applied to shutters’ internal and external surfaces and shutters. You immediately notice that the dirt begins to overflow.

Sodium bicarbonate is used as its abrasive action allows descaling dirt and limescale. You can dab, rub and remove dirty water rich in debris. In the presence of limescale, you can use the mop by immersing it in water and lemon; the latter is the only natural product that allows you to eliminate limestone.

Finally, to shine to the shutters and shutters, especially on the external side, which is most stressed by rainwater and the sun’s rays, we soak the mop in straw yellow oil. It guarantees the shine and, at the same time, eliminates the white released by the limestone present in the water.
