I Recently cleaned some standard roller blinds in a bath which I have done several times before using full bath of luke warm water, 1 cup of detergent and 1 cup of bleach. However I put in a plastic type black out roller blind which was white and now its got a bluish colour on it. WHY?
I tried it again with bleach only and no joy. I tried it with plain white detergent and no joy. The first detergent was fairy powder as I had no industrial strength at hand. Please help.

Go buy some BBQ paint from homebase and paint it. Or fabric spray paint for convertible hoods.

I did this to a customers door mat that one of my guys accidental tracked phosphoric acid onto turning it purple.

The guy thought it was amazing how clean we could get his carpet.

I would think that the blind has a black or very dark blue interlining and the colour has run from that.
A white blind would not keep the light out without it.

Unfortunately it sounds very much like a replacement is on the cards.
