Yes, roller blinds are generally easy to clean. Regular dusting or vacuuming with a brush attachment can help keep them clean. For deeper cleaning, most roller blinds can be wiped down with a damp cloth or sponge.
The lifespan of roller blinds can vary depending on factors such as quality, usage, and maintenance. Watson roller blinds can last up to 15 years easily with proper care and maintenance.
When using a double-roller blind where you have 2 blinds fitted onto one duo roller bracket system, you can use a full blockout combined with a sheer or screen fabric. During the day you would open the blockout blind and use just the sheer blind and then at night you would have both blinds closed.
To protect roller blinds from fading in sunlight:

Roller blinds can effectively be utilised to keep a house warm in winter by creating an additional barrier against the cold. When properly installed and closed, roller blinds help to trap warm air inside, preventing heat loss through windows. For the best insulation we recommend getting roller blinds with a cassette or headbox and side channels to shut off all light gaps and minimise air seeping through the windows.
Roller blinds can be a safe option for homes with pets or children, especially if cordless or motorised options are chosen to eliminate choking hazards.
