How To Clean Blinds

It is not easy to clean vertical blinds with just a brush so if you are looking to clean blinds, make a mix of water and bleach in a large tub or bucket using the ratio of ½ gallon of water with 1 cap of bleach.  Take a sponge and soak it in the mixture after getting the blinds out of the window or door and lay them flat. Move the sponge over each blind vertically up ad down to get the grime and dirt off it completely. If you do not want the excess water to be running over the floor, place a few paper towels or an old towel below the blinds.

You can even use a scrubber instead of a sponge, if you feel that the blinds need a rough rubbing but make sure you squeeze out the excess water. After the blinds are cleaned, use paper towels or even a soft cotton cloth to wipe away the moist surface. Let them air dry for at least a few hours. Now you can attach the blinds back into the window or door frame.

By following these quick tips on how to clean blinds, you will always have clean blinds in your windows and doors.
