Cleaning Mini Blinds

Everyone is familiar with the mini blinds that can be found down at your local home improvement center or window treatment retailer. While they always look great in the store, most people also know that they will accumulate lots of dust. The truth is that cleaning them can be easier than you think.

Mini Blind Cleaning Tips The simplest step that will make cleaning your blinds easier is to close the slats prior to cleaning them. Mini blinds should be dusted at least once a week with a lambs wool duster. Lambs wool has the ability to both attract dust and prevent future dust build up.

A paintbrush can also be effective if there is no lamb?s wool available. Towels to collect excess dust should be placed under your blinds before you begin. Those who want to be very thorough can remove the blinds and take them to the bathtub to scrub.

An all purpose cleaner can be used to remove any grease that appears on your blinds. Let the cleaner sit for a few minutes after spraying it to allow it time to work. Use a soft cloth to then wipe the blinds clean. All you need to do to clean the other side of the blinds is flip the slats over.

Quick and Easy Another simple solution is to use an old pair of cotton gloves to clean your blinds. Make a solution of 1 teaspoon of ammonia and one quart of water then just dip your fingers in the solution and run them along the blinds.

The hose attachments of your vacuum can also be used to clean your blinds. You don't even have to remove the blinds to do this. You can help avoid dust build up by running a dryer sheet along the blinds to remove static.
