Hi Does anyone have any good tips for cleaning the mosquito roller blinds, our neighbour has had a lot of building work done and they are so dusty and spotted with mucky rain drops. Thanks

Hi, hoover and dry brush the dust off first and then wash with water and a clean cloth, drying as you go.  Any marks that don't come off easily can be tackled with a mild soap solution and rinsed with cold water.  If you wet the dust first it will be a nightmare to remove.

Hi good cleaning idea'so but my question is where did you buy your mosquito blinds from. I've been looking for a shop that sell's them for a while.

When I originally replaced the two windows in the oldest part of our house, I just bought mossie blind kits and fitted them myself:

We got them from Leyroy Merlin €20 per window 120 x120 my husband said they were easy to do they are the roller ones although they had lots of different ones.

Thanks for response will have a look.I bought a door retracting kit ,I think from Bricko but was very fiddly, cutting to fit and in the heat the mechanism expanded making it hard for the roller to retract the net- it didn't last long.Complete waste of time and money.
