Like light switch plates, windowsills, and ceiling fan blades, this is very normal that you forget about cleaning your blinds. Then one day, when you are opening or closing them, there is that instant ick-factor. The dust bunnies have taken over and must do something immediately. This oft-forgotten task is not so bad if you are strategic. Here is how to clean blinds the quick and easy way.

Gather your materials

That is the first thing you need to gather up cleaning supplies to tackle the blinds, including:

· Microfiber cloths

· A vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment

· Dishwashing liquid

· Warm water

· Baking soda

Close the blinds

Begin by fully lowering the blinds. Wood and faux wood blinds can completely close; the slats of vinyl and aluminium blinds, which mostly overlap, should be tilted downward but not completely secure.

Dust the blinds

If you have vertical blinds, hold the bottom of the blind in one hand to stabilize them. Wipe the blinds with a microfiber cloth, begin from the top and downward. Wipe in a downward motion, or they may come unhooked. Also, you can use the vacuum cleaner with a soft dusting brush attachment and a low suction setting to remove dust. For horizontal blinds, the process is precisely the same except that you wipe from side to side. Work from the top to bottom slat, so dust does not fall on areas you have already cleaned.

Flip the blinds and repeat

Flip the blinds so the other side will face you and repeats the process with your microfiber cloth or vacuum.

Use the damp cloth on heavily soiled blinds.

If dusting is not good enough to clean the blinds, use a microfiber cloth dampened with warm water. If you have wooden blinds, so don’t get them too wet.

Deep-clean if necessary

If your vinyl or aluminium blinds are in the kitchen where they are exposed to the residue, grease, or stubborn dust, they may need a deep clean. Take your blinds off from the window and put them in a bathtub with warm water, a few easy squirts of a cup of baking soda, and dish soap (a natural stain fighter). Let the blinds soak for an hour, and then rinse with the warm water. Finish them off by wiping away any excess dust or dirt.

Vacuum away excess dust

If you use a damp cloth over the blinds, let them air-dry by opening them. Vacuum the remaining dust that fell onto the windowsill or the floor while you were dusting.

So these are some tips to clean your blinds, but if you a perfect finishing, we are here to assist you. Rather than looking for Roller blinds, Window blinds, Honeycomb blinds, and any other kind of blinds, you can help us. We have a wide variety of blinds to provide you with the best experience ever.
