Looking for a quick and easy way to clean metal venetion blinds. can you help?

Question

I have hung them outside, used soapy hose water; put them in the bathtub (that was a mess); cleaned each slat, one at a time (cut my hands doing that); hung them over the fence outside and tried to clean them that way. Nothing has worked so far. Thanks.

Answer 1

Steam cleaner. Worked good on my 57 Chevy Bel Air.

Answer 2

I have also hung them on a fence, sprayed them with soap, used a plastic bristle brush in downward strokes then a rinse with the hose. It worked well, but it did take a while. This doesn't work so well in the winter. Using the brush took a fair amount of finesse to get everything clean.

Also they need to be hung at an angle to dry; this lets the water runoff one edge. Otherwise water droplets leave spots.

Answer 3

I let mine soak in a solution of bleach in the tub. They really get white this way. Then I wipe them down with dry towels after thoroughly rinsing.

The only other way is slat by slat on a ladder or step stool, or ladder. Good luck.

Answer 4

Fill your bath with some heat water and upload washing powder i.e. persil or ariel and so on basically a small quantity. Take all your slats off and take off the beading and so on. Lay them each and each of the in bath and permit to soak for extra or less 10 minutes on an analogous time as gently rubbing them with your hands (do no longer use a textile or brush and so on). Then placed a shower towel down on the floor and lay each and each of the slats out in my opinion and dab them dry. hang back up relatively damp. they could want again up a cope with!

Answer 5

I always soaked mine in the tub then allowed them to drip dry from the shower rod. You may want to try a vacuum with the brush attachment if they aren't too dirty.

Answer 6

Feather duster?

Answer 7

I've use the local 'self serve' car wash.
