how can i clean my miniblinds?

Answer 1

if they r aluminum or plastic.. take them down & wash them w/ soapy water in the tub & let them dry or dry them. IF they r wood, they do make these fingers w/ dusters on it at any of the stores... OR u can use a vaccum w/ brush..

Answer 2

Have cleaned hundreds of plastic blinds.

Put you cleaner in a splay bottle, Get a clean paint brush (about 3" will do)

Go in the shower & hold the open blind against the back wall.

Take the spray bottle in other hand & get the blind nice & wet.

Then take the paint brush & brush all of the slats.

Turn blind around to other side & repeat.

Then turn on the shower & rinse the blind well. Shake it to get most of the water off & hang it to dry some where Or hang it back up & place a cloth under to catch the drips.

Answer 3

Since I am a person who believes in using homemade prearations vs many of the popular commercial preps :for non-fabric miniblinds,I use any long cleaning stick with a sponge on the end. dip into a mixture of vinegar & baking soda and wipe each blade front & back with this solution. You will have sparkling clean blinds in no time.This solution is also great for unclogging drains that may be clogged with items such as hair.I use 1-2 Tbs baking soda to a cup of vinegar. The rapid foaming action is normal.You can use many things, this is just my way.

Answer 4

Stretch a rope outside. Spray with Zep vinal siding cleaner. Let it sit a couple of minutes and just hose it off. No need to scrubb. I made some loops out of wire to hold the top frame of the blinds to keep from drapeing them over the rope.

Answer 5

A cashier at Lowe's inspired me when I bought the cheap, white mini-blinds for my first house.

She said," Oh, I love these! They are so cheap, that when mine get dirty or tangled, I just buy new ones!"

I had never thought of that, but she is right. If dirty blinds are an ongoing problem, just get the cheapest (usually less than $5 apiece) and toss them when they get dirty. I have a house full of pets, and I haven't cleaned a blind since.

Answer 6

Put them in th.e bathtub with Oxy Clean.
Let them soak awhile.
Take a sponge and run over them as best you can.It doesn't take much as the Oxy works wonders.
Rinse them under the shower and let dry by standing the on end.
