Anyone know a way to clean (not dust) venetian blinds?

Answer 1

You could try putting them into a bathtub full of water and put in a mild detergent. You'll want to use a dishwashing sponge with a scrubber side to remove the built-up dirt from each of the strips. Once your done with that, you'll just want to hang it somewhere that you can extend it out all the way so the strips and the strings can air dry.

Answer 2

I assume you don't want to spend all day on this chore so here's my suggestion: take them outside and hose them down with the waterhose on jet. If they need scrubbing you can apply a cleaner (preferably an ecofriendly non toxic cleaner because whatever you use you will be breathing it in while you use it and after you take them back in -- most cleansers are toxic that you purchase in markets and super stores and their residues don't come off with water) let cleaner soak into the dust/grime whatever a while and then use a broom to scrub -- then flip and rinse both sides with the hose. Prop them up on their sides so the water can drain and leave to dry completely -- then re-hang.

Answer 3

They are mounted in those little boxes at each end that the front slides out of just for this reason. Slide one box front out - remove the entire blind - hang it in the shower - and wash away with your favorite cleaner. Blinds are about $6 each at K-Mart so why not just throw the sucker away and stick the new one up in the old mounting boxes = = = No workie workie for the maid
