Tips On Cleaning Blinds Around The Home
Thankfully, there are no expensive gadgets or cleaning chemicals required for cleaning blinds
around the home. It is safe to say that all of these materials listed below are things that you undoubtedly already
have at home.
Generally, all that the blinds will need is a quick dust to get them clean again and as long as you
do this on a regular basis, they should never get that bad that they will need a spot clean. However, if you do
notice any tough stains it is better to treat them as soon as you can.
A feather duster is one of the most convenient ways of cleaning blinds. It is a great investment
for hard to reach places and can help you avoid climbing onto chairs or over reaching to get to the top of the
blinds. It is easier to clean the blinds when they are closed and sway the feather duster from side to side along
each slat until you reach the bottom. Optionally you can spray the feather duster with some fabric freshener spray
while cleaning blinds as this deters dust from settling.
You might laugh at the suggestion of using a sock for cleaning blinds. All you need to do is to
place a sock on your hand and simply run over each slat from left to right. As an added bonus you can then wipe
each slat with a tumble dryer sheet to keep dust at bay for a longer time.
Lastly, cleaning blinds with a hand held vacuum cleaner or a domestic vacuum cleaner
that has a small brush attachment is a quick and easy way to remove dust from blinds.
