Cleaning Slatted Blinds
Slatted blinds, such as Venetian and wooden blinds, can quickly and easily attract dust and household dirt. The idea of cleaning these types of blinds often seems more fiddly and time-consuming than it needs to be and tends to be put off, sometimes for years, while the blinds continue to gather dust. With a little attention, however, it is easy to return slatted blinds to their original splendour. Blinds are one of the most visible signs of your home’s cleanliness, so it is important to keep them spotless.
Vertical blinds can be a nuisance to clean and are sometimes difficult to remove. First, clean any dust from the slats with a brush or feather duster, then go over each of them with a sponge, using warm soapy water. Do not forget to clean both sides of the slats. Make sure you rinse the blinds thoroughly, as any soap left on the surface will attract even more dust later. Dry the slats with an old towel or a clean dry rag and then let them finish drying in the air, opening the window to speed up the process.
All blinds should be dusted regularly and horizontal blinds can be cleaned in situ with a damp sponge, although they should be occasionally be removed from the window for a more intensive clean. Follow the same process as for vertical blinds, taking care not to tangle up the cords. Ensure that the blinds are completely dry before re-hanging them in the window.
