How to clean venetian blinds

To clean your venetian blinds, use the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner and adjust the blinds to expose the flat surface.Then, from top to bottom and left to right, vacuum the entire surface. Reverse the slats and repeat. Other options are to:

 

● Use a lamb’s wool duster to clean the slats.

● Rub an old paintbrush along each slat.

● Saturate a cloth with methylated spirits and wrap it around a rubber spatula, which you then stick between the open slats to dust.

●Wear an old pair of thick, absorbent cloth gloves and wipe the slats one by one with your gloved hands (see below).

●Wood and bamboo blinds should not be immersed in water.Wipe them down with a damp rag soaked in a solution of dishwashing liquid and water.Then dry them quickly with a fresh rag.
