How to Clean Venitian Blinds

The blinds come in horizontal or vertical slats, with horizontal being the most common. Venetian blinds tend to attract and cling to dust, leaving the blinds with a dull appearance. Dusting the blinds with a feather duster helps to remove some dust, but cleaning the blinds thoroughly involves a more in-depth cleaning procedure. Does this Spark an idea?
