HOW TO KEEP YOUR BLINDS CLEAN

Here are a few Tips and Tricks to keep your Blinds clean :

1. Clean your blinds regularly, ideally once a month. Blinds that are well taken care of should last for decades.

2. No microfiber? No problem

Cloth works just fine! An old clean cloth or even a clean sock will do the trick. Put the cloth over your hand, dip it into water mixed with some dish soap, and you’ll be able to clean all the window coverings in your house.

3. You can clean your shutters and fabric shades, too. If you have shutters, you can use the exact process outlined above to clean them. If you have fabric shades, such as Roman or Honeycomb shades, you can clean those at home, too—but the process is a little different. Lower the shades, then use the soft brush attachment and the low suction setting on your vacuum cleaner to go over the shades starting from the top. When you’re done with one side, maneuver behind the fabric shade and vacuum the other side. Vacuum the back of the fabric shade as well.

If there are stains, spot-treat them with a mixture of clear liquid dish soap and warm water in a bowl. Wet a microfiber cloth with the solution and wring it out, leaving the cloth damp but not soaking. Dab at the stain with the damp cloth. Do this multiple times depending on the stubbornness of the stain. Repeat with a clean cloth moistened with plain water and let the shade air dry. If spot cleaning is not enough to clear up the stain, you can take the fabric blinds to the dry cleaner for a thorough refresh.
