How to Clean Mini Blinds
Mini-blinds are very convenient and attractive window
treatments. They typically have either vertical or horizontal
slats, and are woven either from natural or synthetic reeds.
The only disadvantage they have is that they cannot be cleaned
easily. Cleaning mini blinds doesn't require strength - it
requires delicate handling. The following instructions should
help clarify how to clean them.
As a first step, you should vacuum-clean them while the mini
blinds are still hanging on your window. This process will help
to remove excess dust. Next, you should remove the mini-blinds
from the window and take them either outside or to the bathroom
for a wet wash.
For the liquid washing component, you will need a hose, a
clothesline, a bucket and a sponge. Make a mixture of one-part
water, to one-part ammonia in the bucket. Gently apply the
mixture on the mini-blinds, front and back. Allow the mixture to
stand on the blinds for about five minutes, after which you just
hose them. Wipe the mini-blinds with a soft cloth and hang them
on the clothesline to dry.
To help prevent dust buildup, rub down the mini-blinds with an
anti-static dryer sheet.
The above instructions are most relevant for cleaning cloth mini
blinds. However, on the other hand, if your mini blinds are made
of wood, clean them like you clean any of your wood furniture.
