External venetian blinds offer effective protection against sun, overheated indoor areas, prying eyes, and cold weather. However, ever-changing weather conditions, along with dust and dirt, can make life difficult for your slats. Over time, a layer of dirt forms, which the sun burns onto the coating. The result is unattractive, difficult-to-remove soiling. With slat cleaning tools from WAREMA, you can successfully get to grips with dirt.
The slat cleaning tools from WAREMA are essential for preserving your external venetian blind's brilliant look and maintaining its functionality. By using professional cleaning products from WAREMA, you're making a positive contribution to the attractive appearance of your external sun shading system and preserving its value at the same time. Regular care is the best way to prevent a time-consuming initial cleaning while ensuring that your external venetian blind continues to function flawlessly. WAREMA slat cleaning products give you professional, tried and tested tools that work both gently and powerfully – to save you precious time and effort.
Whether it's a greasy film of dirt, bird droppings or residues left by rainwater – external venetian blinds have a lot to put up with. And that's exactly why regular care with WAREMA slat cleaning tools is so important. With our slat cleaning tongs, you can clean external venetian blinds with size 50, 60 or 80 slats easily, gently and effectively. The tool completely surrounds the slats with two cleaning pads so that they can be freed of dirt in one wipe. This fits right into your normal home cleaning routine, meaning that you'll always enjoy a fresh, well-maintained appearance of your external venetian blind. Regular care with your slat cleaning tongs has other benefits too: for instance, it helps you to avoid a time-consuming initial cleaning and keep the guide rails in constant working order. Your slat cleaning tongs therefore play a major part in maintaining the value of your sun shading system. You can also clean the pads from your slat cleaning tongs in the washing machine and then reuse them whenever you need to. WAREMA slat cleaning tongs are available from Amazon or your local specialist dealer.
Aggressive or corrosive cleaning agents, solvents, petroleum products: none of them are suitable for cleaning your external venetian blinds, since they can attack the surface of the slats. That's why WAREMA has specially developed our own WAREMA cleaning agent concentrate for external sun shading systems. It delivers powerful and gentle cleaning action on both metal and plastic surfaces. This makes it the perfect choice for your care of slats and guide rails made of all materials, and also gives your window frames and sills a polished shine like the one they had when they were brand new. The concentrate was subjected to extensive testing and certified as a professional-grade slat cleaner by the Gütegemeinschaft Reinigung von Fassaden e. V. (Quality Association for Facade Cleaning). The WAREMA cleaning agent concentrate for sun shading products is available from Amazon or your local specialist dealer.

Regular care and maintenance improve the appearance of your external venetian blind and contribute to the conservation of the shading ability. It is worth planning this work for the end of the season, so that the spring cleaning the following year can be done more quickly. If you clean your sun shading system early and have the units maintained by a qualified specialist, you can enjoy the first rays of sun without worry.
We would like to provide information not only about venetian blinds in general, but also to give you some tips on care and cleaning. Note that external venetian blinds must withstand wind and weather, and therefore face more soiling. A dirt film can be burned into the slats at high heats. Therefore they need to be regularly cleaned. We recommend using our slat cleaning agent:
- Cleaning brush for removing coarse dirt
- Cleaning tongs for light soiling
- Cleaning concentrate for powerful yet gentle cleaning
With these tools you are well-equipped for increasing the durability of your venetian blinds. The cleaning tongs are particularly useful for indoors, as they are an effective tool for removing dust.
As a leading manufacturer of sun shading systems, WAREMA knows what's important for cleaning. That's why you'll achieve optimum results with our aids. The tested and certified WAREMA sun shading system cleaner combined with the WAREMA cleaning glove is suitable for cleaning metal and plastic surfaces. The glove is made of a special microfibre fabric and is particularly suitable for loosening and collecting a large amount of dirt. For cleaning the slats of your external venetian blinds, it is best to use the specially developed WAREMA slat cleaning tongs in combination with the sun shading system cleaner. For efficient cleaning of numerous external venetian blinds, we recommend the slat cleaning brush.
- 1. The cleaning of all external sun shading products, such as external venetian blinds always starts in the same way: remove loose dirt from cover panels, frames, profile rails, slats etc. with whisk broom or vacuum cleaner and rinse off with clear water if necessary. To do this you move from top to bottom or from back to front. Due to potential short circuiting, electrical components must not come into contact with water during this.
- 2. Next, all enamelled metal or plastic surfaces are cleaned with a wet cloth or sponge.
Optimal results can be achieved with two of the WAREMA cleaning products specially developed and certified for sun shading systems, the cleaning agent concentrate for sun shading products together with the cleaning glove. The glove consists of a special microfibre fabric and is particularly suitable for loosening and collecting dirt. The next steps of the cleaning process differ depending on the sun shading product.
Don’t:
As a rule, you should not use a high pressure washer, abrasive sponges or aggressive cleaning agents and solvents, such as alcohol or benzene, to clean the sun shading system.
