Easy Blinds Cleaning Tips

Window blinds is an important part of window treatment. They are easily exposed to a lot of dust and debris. Cleaning window blinds is not an easy task. Let’s have a look at some basic tips that will help you maintain and clean all types of blinds easily.

• Vacuum blinds across the slats often with the brush attachment. Vacuuming blinds up and down should be avoided.
• Use a lamb's-wool duster instead of plastic dusters, again working across the slats and starting at the top.
• Brush downward only while dusting or vacuuming vertical blinds, as the slats often become unhooked if you brush upward.
• Fabric and vinyl blinds can be best cleaned using a rubber sponge, also known as a dry sponge (found at hardware and paint stores). Simply wipe the dry sponge firmly across the blinds to remove dust and residue
• For spot cleaning, spray an all-purpose cleaner onto a clean dry cloth and wipe the soiled area of the blind. Never spray the cleaner directly onto the blind.
• Don’t soak wooden blinds. You can wet wooden blinds when cleaning. Wooden blinds should be cleaned in place instead of removing them.

Put a few drops of dishwashing soap in a bucket of water. Wet a car-washing brush and brush the blinds from side to side, and then turn them over and brush the other side. Rinse the blinds gently with a garden hose while tilting them so that the water runs off. To prevent water spots from forming, quickly run your finger down the slats a couple of times to remove excess water. When done, drape the blinds over a fence or a couch to dry.
