What the Maid Knows About Your Window Blinds

The maid knows how to clean your window blinds, of course! And you, too, can learn the best way of how to keep your blinds clean by following these tips.

• Dust often. Put the brush attachment on your vacuum and swipe it across the blinds in the direction of the slats, running the length of each. Or sweep blinds gently with a clean soft bristle broom. For vertical blinds, dust from top to bottom.

• After dusting, wipe slats with a static reduction dryer sheet to help repel dust.

• Once a year, use a cotton tip swab with a gentle dish soap and water solution to clean around the connector holes.

• Furniture polish and a soft cloth clean wood blinds.

• Soiled cords can be treated with a quick spray of fabric stain remover. Let it set for a few minutes to dissolve stain then gently wipe with damp cloth to remove excess stain remover.
