There are several ways to clean blinds, and I’ll provide you with options based on how dirty they are.
**If your blinds are just dusty:**
A Rainbow dusting tool is excellent and works well for mini-blinds and wooden blinds.
You can wrap a fabric softener sheet, a soft cloth sprayed with fabric softener, or a microfiber cloth around a long, thin object like a ruler or a table knife. Slide the ruler between each slat, and watch the dust cling to the fabric. While it may be more time-consuming to dust each blind individually, you don’t have to take them down, and it’s very effective!
The Rainbow dusting tool is a fantastic time-saving accessory! If you use the attachment for your Rainbow, close the blinds and run the attachment side-to-side slowly. Then, open and shut the slats in the opposite direction and repeat.
**If your blinds need deep cleaning:**
You can remove aluminum blinds from the mounts and place them in a bathtub filled with warm water and vinegar. Gently scrub them with a soft cloth or brush. Afterward, drain the tub and let the blinds air dry.
On a warm spring day, you can take sturdy aluminum blinds outside for cleaning. Lay them flat in a row on the ground and use a garden hose sprayer to wash away the dust. Flip them over and repeat. Allow the sun to dry the blinds before reinstalling them.
I hope you take some time to clean your blinds today!
