Blinds can be a real challenge to keep clean. The slats seem to instantly build up with dust and dirt, making your blinds look dull and dirty. No matter how hard you try, it may seem like you can’t get rid of the dust. But keeping your window blinds, clean on a regular basis can ease the labor of this chore, if you follow these simple tips.

Dust Often

The slats of your window blinds, are a magnet for dust. Eliminating the dust on your blinds is a cinch if you use a microfiber cloth. Gently wipe the slats with your microfiber cloth to remove the dust.

Never add water to get the dust off. You’ll only wind up with a dirty mess that will be even more difficult to clean. Be sure to eliminate all the dust and dirt you can from your blinds before you introduce a cleaning solution to the slat surface.

As you clean, it is always a good idea to work from the top of the window blinds in Pompano Beach, FL, to the bottom to prevent dust from falling on the areas that you have already cleaned. Be sure to wash your microfiber cloth between each cleaning.

Try A Vacuum

Another good option for cleaning your window blinds, is to use your vacuum. You will need to use a brush attachment and be gentle as you work. Start from the top and work side-to-side across the slates. Avoid moving up and down on the blinds as this can damage the slats as you work.

Use A Cleaning Solution

If you have stubborn areas of your window blinds in Pompano Beach, FL, that need additional care, you’ll want to use a mild cleaning solution to wipe these areas. A vinegar and water mix are a good solution, or any mild cleaning product will work.

Use a clean cloth and dampen it with the cleaning product you have chosen. Do not oversaturate the slats with water as this can cause damage to the slats, especially if they are wood. Be sure to wipe the slats dry when you are completed.

Let your window blinds, hang to dry completely. Leave them fully extended so every inch of the slates is exposed and can dry quickly. This will also prevent watermarks from forming.

By keeping up with the cleaning of your window blinds, you’ll help them last longer. They will avoid that unsightly dust build up and always look clean in your home.
