How Do I Clean Horizontal Blinds?
- 1). Adjust slats to the up position. Dust both sides of metal or wooden blinds with a commercially treated dust cloth or one you have sprayed with a household dusting product or vacuum them with your machine's brush head attached. Readjust blinds to the down position and repeat the process. Vacuum fabric blinds or dust them with a dry cloth.
- 2). Wash metal blinds, after dusting, with a soft cloth dampened in warm water with or without a mild soap. Adjust the slats up, then down, wiping both sides. Wash fabric blinds in the same manner with a cloth lightly dampened in clean water only.
- 3). Deep-clean metal blinds by sliding them out of their brackets and placing them in a bathtub full of lukewarm water. Add a small amount of dish soap or general household cleaner if the blinds are extremely dirty. Gently wipe the blinds with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry them well before rehanging.
- 4). Clean wooden blinds with a soft cloth and lemon oil or a similar wood-cleaning oil. Adjust the blinds up and down, wiping both sides. Use a clean cloth to remove any oil residue.
