Vertical blinds
Two questions re vertical blinds:
1.The rotating plastic hooks no longer line up so the blinds do not hang parallel. The local blind shop said to pull hard on the cord which rotates them and they should all snap into alignment - they don't. I think I will have to dismantle the rail - is it fiddly to do? Will I end up with loads of small plastic parts all over the place and is this the solution anyway. 2. The blinds themselves are quite dirty, stained with mildew at the bottom, they should be white. Are they washable? They seem to be treated with something, will they loose their strength? |

To correct ours you pull all the way in one direction (and give an extra tug
when the end is reached) if that does not work pull all the other way and tug again, one direction or the other always corrects the problem.
