Conservatory with roof blinds

Conservatories are wonderful spaces that bring the outdoors in, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of your garden while staying sheltered from the elements. However, this closeness to nature can sometimes come with a few unwelcome guests, like dead flies caught between the conservatory roof and those delicate pleated roof blinds. If you're facing this problem, don't worry; we've got you covered. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the steps to remove those pesky flies and restore your conservatory to its pristine condition.

What You'll Need:

  • A sturdy ladder
  • A vacuum cleaner with a long hose attachment
  • An extendable duster
  • A flashlight

 

Step 1: Safety First

Before you start, make safety a priority. Use a sturdy ladder and take all necessary precautions to avoid any accidents.

 

Step 2: Clear the Area

Remove any obstacles or items from beneath the area you'll be working on. This not only ensures your safety but also makes the cleanup easier.

 

Step 3: Inspect the Blinds

Use a flashlight to inspect the pleated roof blinds. Identify the specific spots where the dead flies are trapped.

 

Step 4: Use the Vacuum

Attach the long hose to your vacuum cleaner. Turn the vacuum cleaner on and set it to a low suction level. Gently run the hose along the pleated roof blinds, being mindful not to damage them. The suction should pull in the dead flies without harming the blinds.

 

Step 5: Repeat as Needed

You may need to repeat this process for stubborn areas or if there are many dead flies.

 

Step 6: Dust and Clean

After removing the dead flies, use the extendable duster to gently clean the pleated roof blinds. This step will help remove any remaining debris or dust.

 

Step 7: Prevent Future Infiltration

Consider installing fly screens or other preventative measures to keep flies from entering the space between the conservatory roof and blinds in the future.

 

With these steps, you can efficiently remove dead flies from between your conservatory roof blinds. .

 

Remember, safety should always be a priority when working at heights, and if you're uncomfortable doing this yourself, consider hiring a professional to clean the area. Your conservatory will thank you for it!
