Mini blinds allow as much or as little light as you want into your home.
While some prefer the look and texture of curtains as window treatments, others prefer the convenience and easy maintenance as well as the appearance of mini blinds. Giving you the option to easily keep the sunlight out or welcome it in, mini blinds are subjected to dust particles as they travel through the air in your home. Over time they will collect dirt and dust and appear dingy. Cleaning your mini blinds at home is not only important for appearances sake, but for sanitary reasons as well.
Instructions
Cleaning Metal, Plastic or Vinyl Mini Blinds
1. Remove the blinds from the window and take them outside.
2. Wipe the blinds down with a soft clean cloth to remove as much loose dirt and dust from each slat as possible.
3. Mix a mild dish soap into a bucket of warm water to make it sudsy; 1 tbsp. per quart of water should be plenty to produce ample suds.
4. Dip a clean cloth or sponge into the water and wipe down each slat.
5. Rinse the blinds with clean water by spraying them off with a garden hose.
6. Hang the blinds outside by draping them over a fence or hanging them over a clothesline to air-dry.
