Many people thought that it is tough to maintain their mini blinds. Actually, cleaning your mini blinds is quite easy and simple.
Unfortunately for us, we live in an environment where air pollution is geting worse every year, and there is a lot of dust in the air. Thankfully though, keeping your mini blinds clean is not as difficult as most people perceive. In fact, regular maintenance requires very little of your time.
If you are already dusting or cleaning your furniture regularly, why not include your blinds? For quick cleaning, you can just use a feather duster to dust the blinds. If you prefer, you can also use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to clean out the dust on the blinds’ slats without taking the blinds down. You can do this once a week and let it become part of the process when you are tidying up your home.
If your mini blinds are too dusty, it is a good idea to take them down completely for a good wash. Before you do so, please remember to dust your blinds first with a duster or with a vacuum cleaner. This will help to remove the excess dust and make washing the blinds easier without too much dust acculumating on the slats. Prepare a tub and fill it up halfway with water and mix in your usual washing detergent. Next, take down your mini blinds and soak it in the tub. Then, use a sponge or a piece of cloth to wipe the slats individually and remember to clean the corners as they tend to accumulate dust. After you are done, you can just hang it out to dry in the open, and reattach it back to the windows when they are completely dry.
As you can see, cleaning your mini blinds is a very easy affair. There’s absolutely no need to call in any professional help at all. Just follow the simple instructions above and you’ll have clean blinds all year round.
