If
there is one chore that seems to be dreaded above all others, it
surely would be cleaning the window blinds.
Window
blinds collect dust and debris quite easily and they aren’t the
easiest household item to clean. However, no matter what kind of
blinds you have in your New York apartment- wooden, fabric or
vertical, the following tips will make their cleaning and maintenance
easy for you:
- Vacuum the blinds often with the brush attachment. Vacuum across slats, not up and down. It is a good way to prepare extra dusty blinds for the next stage of cleaning.
- Make use of a feather duster. If your blinds have just a thin layer of dust, a feather duster will be sufficient to clean them. Open the blinds and run a feather duster between each blind to pick up the dust on both sides.
- Wipe the blinds with a damp sponge. Starting with closed blinds, dampen a sponge with warm water and wipe it along the length of every blind. Repeat the process with the blinds turned in the opposite direction to clean the other side.
After
following these tips, you will notice that your allergies have
lessened and there aren’t as many dusty particles floating in the
air. This will make you grateful that you spent the time to do a good
clean.
