Step 1
Use your vacuum cleaner's hose and dust attachment and follow the direction in which the blinds hang. Turn the blinds around to vacuum dust from the other side. Don't press too hard or you'll dent the blinds.
-
Step 2
Use an anti-dust spray and a dry cloth as an alternative to a vacuum. Or place a towel underneath your blinds and use a damp cloth and a multi-purpose household cleaner for aluminum blinds.
-
Step 3
Take your blinds outside to clean heavy dirt accumulation. Place a drop cloth underneath them and hose them down. Use a soft cloth or sponge with a mixture of water and multi-purpose cleaner for tough dirt stains. Turn your blinds over and clean the opposite side. Rinse off any soap or cleaner with your hose and allow them to dry.
-
Step 4
Put your blinds in a bathtub filled with warm soapy water if you can't clean them outside. Soak them for roughly half an hour, wipe them off and hang to dry. Make sure you don't bend your blinds or scratch your bathtub.
-
Step 5
Clean both sides of your wooden blinds with a soft, dry cloth and wood cleaner.
-
Step 6
Dust fabric blinds with a light vacuuming, using your hose attachment. To remove dirt, use warm water and a mild laundry detergent. Blot heavily stained areas rather than rub.
