It is difficult to imagine the life of a modern resident without blinds, which have become a part of our lives. At enterprises, they present convenient curtains that regulate the level of illumination in the room. Devices that create comfortable conditions for employees of office companies are multifunctional. They are designed to control natural light and decorate the room, creating a cozy atmosphere and aesthetically organizing the space. But there are situations when it is necessary to replace blinds, write them off and draw up a corresponding report.
Reasons for writing off blinds
If the operating rules are not followed, the structure or individual elements may break down.
Restorable blinds can be saved, but the structure cannot always be repaired. There is a natural need to write off such inventory. But a competent execution of an act is required, which indicates the reason for decommissioning the equipment, certified by the members of the commission. The reasons must be compelling so that the regulatory authorities do not have additional questions and doubts regarding the regularity of this operation. The wording about exceeding the service life of the structure will not cause problems.
Here it is necessary to distinguish between the guarantee period and the period approved by the establishment.
The useful life of blinds is confirmed by the conclusion of the commission, which regulates the replacement of such equipment in accordance with sanitary and hygienic requirements in a given institution. The inventory record card indicates the start of operation of the blinds, and a document is left in the accounting department indicating the useful life of the blinds.
The main signs of a faulty air conditioner:
Before we start troubleshooting, we’ll immediately set the conditions that the AIR CONDITIONER MUST BE CLEAN! In order not to confuse the concepts of “faulty air conditioner” and “air conditioner requiring maintenance.” The cause of all breakdowns may be contamination of the air conditioner.
Perhaps all the MAIN malfunctions can be divided into 4 groups, which already indirectly indicate the causes. Let's designate them like this:
- The most common case is the behavior of the indoor unit when “the indoor unit works, but does not cool.” This sign usually means that the unit's blinds are opening, the fan is spinning, but there is no change in temperature in the room. At the same time, you must be sure that the air conditioner is configured correctly and operating conditions are observed (for example, outside temperature).
- The second also common case is the situation when water flows from the indoor unit.
- Let’s denote the next case as follows: the air conditioner does not show any signs of life at all (does not respond to the remote control).
- The fourth case sounds something like this - the air conditioner runs for a while and then suddenly turns off. We will also include all other problems here (non-working fans, compressor, etc.).
Faulty blinds for write-off
Contents Furniture is an element that every enterprise has.
And if it does not directly participate in economic activity, then it has an indirect influence on it, because requires periodic maintenance and costs. Furniture in an enterprise means not only classic office “new things”, but also everything that has a similar design - furnishings for retail premises, workshops, warehouses, catering establishments.
To write off furniture structures, several characteristics are taken into account.
The following are the general points:
- external defects (dirt, cracks, scratches, fading);
- desire for renewal (purchase of more status furniture, reorganization of the enterprise).
- loss of functionality (breakage, deformation);
The service life of furniture depends on the manufacturer, type and variety and is determined at the factory. Furniture manufacturers have an obligation to establish this parameter in accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 16, 1997 No. 720.

To detect fuses, it is necessary to inspect the product from the reverse side, especially places that are often ironed (seams, folds, hems). Damage to products by moths. Mole damage most often occurs on products made of wool and wool blend fibers.
According to the latest data, moths can also damage linen and cotton fibers, natural silk, artificial and some synthetic fibers, such as nylon. Before dry cleaning, the defect may not be noticeable. — knitted carpet products with broken edging (loops on such products are possible); — carpet knitted products (rugs) with a latex base (possible cracking); — rubber-based carpets (rubber becomes brittle and begins to crumble); — carpet products duplicated with foam rubber (the foam rubber breaks); — felt carpets (the appearance of etching, difficulties in removing stains);
Where do blinds most often break?
Most managers prefer blinds because of their compactness, convenience, and ease of maintenance of the structure. It has become commonplace to use in such establishments:
- kindergartens, schools, sports complexes
- hospitals, sanatoriums, boarding schools;
- entertainment, office centers;
- banks, post offices.
Businesses are happy to organize their space using blinds.
It is no secret that most institutions, wanting to save money when purchasing goods, do not delve into the strength and reliability of the elements used in the configuration, which leads to inevitable breakdown of the structure. If the operating rules are not followed, the structure or individual elements may break down. Restorable blinds can be saved, but the structure cannot always be repaired.
How to wash blinds in a washing machine
A responsible approach to how to wash vertical fabric blinds will extend their service life and maintain their good appearance. Any material that absorbs and becomes covered with dust and dirt can serve as a source of allergens and simply cause a feeling of discomfort in your own home. Therefore, caring for household accessories becomes a habit and arouses a lot of interest.
Since caring for curtains with an automatic machine requires less time and effort, most people are inclined to this option. It is worth remembering whether blinds can be washed depends on the type of material. For example, it is strictly not recommended to machine wash synthetic materials. In other cases, you should focus on the materials of manufacture and follow the recommendations in the care instructions on how to wash blinds.
If washing household appliances are used very often or, conversely, rarely, you should prepare them before processing the strips:
- Wash and rinse the detergent compartment with clean water.
- Run the rinse cycle without laundry in order to remove any remaining powder, rinse aid or dyes.
Which mode should you choose?
After the washing machine drum is clean, you can wash the blinds:
- Roll each strip into a roll. It is allowed to roll up to 5 slats together.
- The resulting bundles should be secured with an elastic band or regular thread so that they do not unravel during washing.
- You need to load the rollers into the machine using a special bag or use a pillowcase.
- To wash the slats of vertical blinds, use a gel, since the powder can leave streaks on the fabric. It is poured into a special compartment for detergent.
- Select one of the modes: “hand wash”, “delicate wash” or “wash delicate items”. Or any mode that requires a temperature of up to 35 degrees and a spin of up to 400 rpm.
- The rinse mode and spin cycles above 400 rpm must be turned off.
- Dry the strips.
When is it possible to write off blinds?
There is a natural need to write off such inventory. But a competent execution of an act is required, which indicates the reason for decommissioning the equipment, certified by the members of the commission. The reasons must be compelling so that the regulatory authorities do not have additional questions and doubts regarding the regularity of this operation.
The wording about exceeding the service life of the structure will not cause problems. Here it is necessary to distinguish between the guarantee period and the period approved by the establishment. The useful life of blinds is confirmed by the conclusion of the commission, which regulates the replacement of such equipment in accordance with sanitary and hygienic requirements in a given institution. The inventory record card indicates the start of operation of the blinds, and a document is left in the accounting department indicating the useful life of the blinds.
Reasons why blinds fail prematurely
What reason is indicated when drawing up a write-off act:
- Deterioration of property due to the failure of individual elements (frame, lamellas, sliding mechanism) that cannot be restored. A fragile structure, if not used correctly, can break before the designated period of operation. The materials used in the production of modern structures designed to create comfort for visitors and employees affect the quality of the structure, and therefore the service life. The use of low-quality materials used by unscrupulous manufacturers leads to premature failure of the blinds.
- An obsolete design that does not meet the aesthetic requirements of the room. If a modern renovation is made, after which vertical blinds, which looked organic in the previous design, are out of place in the current interior.
- Intentional and unintentional acts of aggression resulting in the deterioration of the property, resulting in the blinds being beyond repair.
- It is inappropriate to spend funds on expensive structural repairs that are unprofitable for the enterprise. The ineffectiveness of restoration work is confirmed by a reasoned explanation.
- Hygienic requirements to ensure normal conditions, confirmed by the conclusions of the relevant authorities (instructions from the sanitary and epidemiological station). In children's institutions, they strictly monitor the use of serviceable structures, therefore, guided by the instructions of the regulatory authority, you can write off blinds without problems.
- Wear of fabric fragments that cannot be replaced, leading to insolation of surfaces in the room. Irritating solar radiation harms the health of employees, patients, visitors, and also leads to fading of indoor surfaces (furniture, carpets, wallpaper).
- Expiration date.
On the use of curtains in surgical wards
In accordance with the requirements of section 6 of SanPiN 2.2.1/2.1.1.1076-01 “Hygienic requirements for insolation and sun protection of premises of residential and public buildings and territories”, limiting the excessive thermal impact of insolation of premises of public buildings, including health care facilities, must be ensured by appropriate planning and orientation of buildings.
If it is impossible to ensure sun protection of premises by orientation, it is necessary to provide structural and technical means of sun protection (air conditioning, internal cooling systems, blinds, etc.). Among sun protection devices (shutters, louvres, curtains, etc.), the most optimal for use in medical In institutions, special types of glass that block heat rays.
The requirements of clause 3.9 of Chapter I of SanPiN 2.1.3.2630-10 “Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for organizations engaged in medical activities”, while establishing restrictions on the use of sun protection devices in premises with aseptic and special operating conditions, do not establish restrictions on their use in other functional premises , including ward surgical departments. The list of mandatory measures for the prevention of nosocomial infections in surgical departments is given in Section 3 and Section 6 of Chapter III of SanPiN 2.1.3.2630-10.
Regarding the use of curtains in surgical wards, one should proceed from the requirements of paragraphs 6.3-6.18 of Chapter III of SanPiN 2.1.3.2630-10. As an object of possible transmission of nosocomial infections, blinds and curtains made of textile materials are subject to monthly washing and disinfection in the event of contamination with secretions and biological fluids, in the laundry, according to the technology for processing linen in medical organizations. The structural device must be easy to clean and accessible for cleaning; the material of manufacture must allow wet cleaning and disinfection.
How to draw up a write-off act?
Blinds are inventory items and are the property of the organization. If a product cannot be used at the enterprise as a result of loss of quality, defects, or breakdown, then to confirm the fact of write-off, a document is drawn up in accordance with the established TORG-16 form. Write-offs for other reasons are drawn up in any form, taking into account the company’s office work standards.
To assess the condition of the blinds, a commission is assembled, which includes the head of the organization, the chief accountant, and employees materially responsible for the facility. The head of the enterprise approves the composition of the commission and issues an order based on the write-off act.
The document is drawn up in three copies, one of which remains in the accounting department, the second is transferred to the manager who wrote off the blinds, the third is given to the financially responsible person.
The act of write-off serves to make a corresponding entry in the accounting books, the basis for the disposal of material from the balance sheet of the enterprise. In budget companies, representatives of sanitary supervision may participate in signing the act.

Malfunctions and repairs of different types of blinds
Quite often, fragile structures such as blinds break if used incorrectly. But if you know their structure, you can quite quickly repair blinds at home on your own.
Often, breakdowns of plastic structures are associated with the replacement of slats or components, so when choosing blinds you should definitely pay attention to the fact that the kit includes spare parts.
It is worth knowing what the design of blinds is and what breakdowns are most common in such products.
oko-dtp.ru
In the upper part of the blinds, the slats fit tightly against each other; in the lower part of the blinds there is a distance between the slats, which does not correspond to the consumer characteristics of this group of products (they must protect from sunlight, precipitation, dust, etc.). When examining all the objects of study (in the loggia of the kitchen and room), the expert determined that in the lower part of the blinds there are different closing angles of the slats.
The defect is obvious, of a manufacturing nature, and was formed as a result of a violation of the technology for assembling the elements of the blinds. If this defect is present, the product does not meet the consumer characteristics of the product in this group. 4. RESEARCH Horizontal bleached blinds.
The width of the blinds slats is 25mm, the height of the blinds under study is 1640mm. The blinds are located in the kitchen loggia. The material used to make blinds is bamboo.
Important: There are 7 blinds presented for the study. An organoleptic (visual) examination of the blinds (each object separately) revealed: - there is a large amount of dry contamination on the surface of the blinds slats - dust; - there is deformation of the horizontal slats of the blinds. The lamellas are deformed at the edges and in the center.
The deformation is local in nature - not all wood panels of blinds have this defect. Info There is a defect on a large number of slats of all the examined blinds. The horizontal blinds are gray-blue.
The width of the blinds slats is 25mm, the height of the blinds under study is 1640mm. The blinds are located in the loggia of the room (bedroom).
The material used to make blinds is bamboo. From ultraviolet radiation, plastic turns yellow and becomes very fragile, which sooner or later leads to breakage. The second case that we encounter from time to time is a request for spare parts and components for various round and forged cornices.
Some people didn’t have enough rings and needed additional ones, others needed a rod for a round cornice of a certain diameter and in a certain color, somewhere the children tore the cornice out of the wall and broke it.
What are blinds made of?
The mechanism of horizontal and vertical blinds is similar. Their structural difference is in the location of the lamellas; there are also several differences in installation methods.
Blinds are a single structure that consists of the following elements and parts:
- The cornice is the basis for fastening the structure. Often made of aluminum, plastic or wood. Plastic can bend over time under the weight of the lamellas. This is the most unreliable material. The cornice is already produced with a mechanism for controlling blinds.
- Slats are strips that protect the room from direct sunlight. They can be made of aluminum, plastic, fabric and wood. Based on the location and type of slats, blinds are divided into horizontal, vertical, roller and protective types. By connecting with each other, the strips form a single canvas, and due to the control mechanism, they are able to adjust the gaps, controlling the level of illumination in the room.
- Runners are the elements on which the slats are suspended. It is worth paying attention to the runners, since even the slightest defect can lead to difficulties in moving the lamella.
- Vertical blinds often have weights. They are located at the bottom of the strips, due to which they do not wobble, but evenly wobble in the desired position.
- The control chains are located on the side of the structure, hanging from the eaves. Thanks to them, you can adjust the position of the slats and the light flux in the room.
- Control strings are the parts responsible for moving and extending the slats.
When purchasing blinds, you should pay attention to the quality of all components, since the stability of the device as a whole depends on this. How to repair blinds?
Breakdowns of vertical blinds and repair methods
Often, vertical blinds are installed in work areas. To avoid discomfort from excessive light at work, you need to know how to fix vertical blinds. To do this, you should familiarize yourself with the most common breakdowns:
- chain break;
- rope break;
- breakdown of the mechanism for attaching the lamella to the cornice;
- malfunction of runners;
- Damage to the control cord.
It is quite possible to deal with such problems on your own.
- Repair of vertical blinds must be carried out in stages. If the chain that connects the slats to each other breaks, you should purchase a new one, not forgetting to measure the width of the blinds in advance. After this, you need to remove the old element and replace it with a new one.
- If the problem is that the chain has become deformed due to long-term use, then it is recommended to open the side cover of the cornice to remove the gear. Then the broken chain is removed and a new gear is put in its place. All elements return to their original positions.
- Vertical blinds can also be repaired if the shoulder that connects the cornice to the slats is broken. It is necessary to purchase a new element in advance, then dismantle the broken shoulder and sew the purchased one onto a thread.
- A common problem is the breakdown of the runners. To repair them, you will need to remove the control cord so that the mechanism itself is accessible. After this, you need to unwind the mechanism and remove the unusable slider, moving the distances away. Now you should thread the free distance into the new runner, then insert it into the cornice, stringing it onto the shaft. The mechanism closes and the cord is put in place.
- If the problem lies in the control cord, then the first action is to check for continuity. It could be a loosening of the tension. To fix the damage, it will be enough to tighten the lace. If the cord does break, you need to measure it and purchase a new one. After this, you should thread the new element first through the side cover of the cornice, then through the runners. Finally, the cord is fixed.
Repairing blinds with your own hands is not difficult.
Breakdowns and repairs of horizontal structures
Horizontal blinds are in demand for decorating residential premises. It is important to know what problems you may encounter and how to repair horizontal blinds.
- If the slats stop rotating around their axis, then most likely the lower clamps or hooks have failed. To replace these elements, you will first need to purchase new ones based on the size of the existing ones. To replace it, you need to dismantle the broken part, for which you need to hold the rotating mechanism with one hand and install the new part in the appropriate place with the other. Finally, a cane is installed into the new element.
- If the cord on the horizontal blinds breaks, then in order to repair the horizontal blinds yourself, you will first need to buy a new one. After this, the broken element is removed, and to replace it, a new cord is threaded through the lifting mechanism so that it ends up passing between the iron cylinder and the plastic roller. Then the lace needs to be threaded into the lower hole of the plastic basket where the ladder is fixed. In this case, the cord should also be threaded between the ladder. The same thing is done with the second piece of cord, only it needs to be passed through the nearest hole in the slats. Using a large needle, into which you need to thread the cord, thread it through all the holes in the strips of the blinds, without threading it into the ladder on both sides. The new lace will wrap around the ladder in a zigzag pattern. All that remains is to thread the needle and cord through the plug at the bottom of the structure and tie it with a knot. The same should be done with the second lace.
- If the blinds do not work in the desired mode, most likely the lifting and turning mechanism is broken. This type of repair of horizontal blinds is not easy, since you first have to remember the location of all structural elements, and only then replace the damaged mechanism. Here you should remove the plugs on the sides of the cornice. Afterwards, the edges are unclenched and the shaft is pulled out using pliers, thanks to which the rotating mechanism is attached. Then the shaft and mechanism are disconnected, the cord is pulled out, and the ends are untied at the bottom. The ends of the lace are inserted into the new mechanism, after which it must be passed between the cylinder and the roller. The new part is fixed, the blinds are assembled in the reverse order.
Useful tips when choosing blinds
Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest WhatsApp How and where to install blinds Blinds can be installed above a window, in a window opening, between frames The calculation must be accurate.
Their size depends on how the blinds are positioned relative to the window (cover the entire wall with the window or cover only the glass). It is desirable that the minimum overlap be at least 10 cm on all sides.
If you are going to insert blinds into a window opening, you need to measure its height and width on both sides, since the window is not always exactly rectangular in shape. When the blinds are placed between the frames, the height and width of the window itself is measured.
This solution (like the previous one) allows you to combine blinds with curtains.
In most cases, blinds are made to order from component parts, and the total price of the order depends on their cost. It is not recommended to install blinds in rooms with humid and wet conditions.

Breakdowns and repairs of roller blinds
Roller blinds stand a little apart on this list. Repairing roller blinds with your own hands is possible, but if the canvas itself is damaged, then there is nothing left to do but change it completely or, more preferably, buy a new design.
If the curtain fabric does not fit tightly to the window, then it is necessary to check the installation of the guides and the presence of weight in the lower part of the structure. When the curtain does not fit well on the frame, it is best to replace the fastening, choosing the most suitable one for you. If the control cord is broken, it must be removed and replaced with a new one. Do not tie a broken cord!
Repair of roller blinds: replacement of silicone
In general, repairing blinds with your own hands does not cause any particular difficulties, and if you have minimal skills, you can deal with the breakdowns yourself. You can always find many videos on the Internet that demonstrate basic malfunctions and how to fix them.
Other breakdowns that threaten trouble
A breakdown of the washing machine's pressure switch makes it impossible to carry out washing programs, since this part in the machine is responsible for filling it with water. What else threatens the malfunction of the pressure switch?
The tank is filled with water or not; clothes are poorly wrung out; the sensor does not work, but the washing machine will consider that there is enough water and turn on the heating element. This can cause serious damage.
To check the pressure switch of the washing machine, disconnect the pressure hose. Access to the back cover of the washing machine must be free. Take it off. Disconnect the tube from the pressure switch. Instead, insert a rubber hose and gently blow into it. There are as many levels of water control in the unit, the same number of clicks you will hear. Check for cracks or other defects. If the surface of the water level switch membrane is porous, it must be replaced. Of course, it’s better if a master of his craft does this.

Cleaning blinds yourself
First you need to clean the slats from any dust that has formed. A regular vacuum cleaner is suitable for this. You must first lay an oilcloth on the floor to protect the surface from dust. After this, you need to treat the slats with a vacuum cleaner. Do not use wax-based products or brushes, which can damage the fabric.
To remove dirt, take a soft rag or sponge, which is soaked in water and a cleaning solution. Before using the product, you need to check its safety on an inconspicuous part of the lamella. The cloth should be wiped from top to bottom; each panel should be cleaned on both sides. To achieve real cleanliness, periodically rinse the rag or sponge in water. To avoid the appearance of stubborn stains that are difficult to clean, it is recommended to carry out this procedure monthly.
Removing old stains
If you need to wash away old stains, ordinary wet cleaning is not enough. To remove stains, we recommend using the following method:
- Stubborn stains should be treated with a soap solution or detergent. To do this, you can use a regular rag, but it is more convenient to take a spray bottle. There is no need to use bleaches or stain removers, which may leave marks on the fabric.
- The liquid should be left for 10 minutes.
- Then the product must be washed off with water.
