The Best Way to Clean All the Blinds

If there’s one chore that seems to be dreaded above all others, we are pretty sure it would be cleaning the blinds. Whether wood, faux wood, fabric, vinyl or aluminum, most of us HATE cleaning the blinds! It’s a time-consuming task.

Faux-wood Blinds

Faux-wood blinds are one of the most popular types of window coverings. If your faux-wood blinds are just dusty, using a vacuum with a dust brush attachment can make cleaning them a breeze. Simply close the blinds all the way, hold the bottom rail, vacuum one side, then turn the blinds the other way and vacuum the other side.

If your faux-wood blinds are in the kitchen however, they may have collected some grease and grime in addition to dust. This calls for a bit more thorough cleaning. Simply fill a small bowl with a mixture of one part white vinegar and one part water, and then use a clean sock or microfiber cloth to dip in the bowl. Turn the blinds one way and wipe them while holding the bottom rail, then turn them the other way and clean the other side.

Wood Blinds

Most wood blinds are treated with a special finish to repel dirt and stains. Wood blinds can be cleaned with a good quality furniture polish and a soft cloth or clean sock. Spray the furniture polish on the cloth and wipe each slat individually. Avoid touching the cords. For heavier cleaning, you can use plain water, but be careful not to saturate the wood. Wipe excess water immediately to prevent spotting, discoloration, or warping.

Fabric Blinds

Dust attracts dirt, which leads to discoloration. So, if you are dusting regularly, you will be OK. To clean and dust fabric blinds, use the dust brush attachment of your vacuum on a low setting.

If you want to wash them and they are flat roller blinds, completely unroll them, vacuum first, then use warm soapy water on a well-wrung-out sponge and wash each side. Then, leave unrolled for a day or two and allow to dry.

Extremely soiled fabric blinds may need professional cleaning.

Vinyl Blinds

Vinyl blinds splattered with grease, such as in a kitchen, require a bit more cleaning than blinds that are simply dusty. Since the blinds are vinyl, they may be washed with a mild soap-and-water solution after vacuuming and dusting them to remove any grimy residue that remains.

Add a squirt or two of mild dishwashing liquid to a bucket of warm water. Close the blinds so the slats face down toward you. Roll up old towels to catch water on the window sill and on the floor in front of the window; then dip a sponge into the soapy water and wipe each slat individually, starting at the top.

Aluminum Blinds

If you have a lot of aluminum blinds in your home, this option can be quite time-consuming, especially if there is greasy grime in addition to the dust.

You can choose to take each set of blinds down at a time and let them soak in your bathtub with a bit of dish soap. Use a soft brush, sponge, or soft mop to go over both sides of the slats. If you have a whirlpool tub, follow the directions for the tub soak, then turn on the jets for a few minutes…no scrubbing needed! After soaking, drain the dirty water and refill the tub with clean water to rinse. Make sure to rinse away all of the soap suds to avoid spotting.

Dust attracts dirt, which leads to discoloration. So, if you are dusting regularly, you will be OK!
