Re: Cleaning Venetian Blinds - Best Way ????
Why would you rule out the pressure washer?
I think blinds with the slats all twisted and bent lend a unique, antique appeal to the decor!
Those little fuzzy brushes used to dust keyboards,etc work pretty well. Wonder Wand or something like that??
1. Open the blinds fully before removing them from their window tracking and placing them in the bathtub. If you don't have a bathtub, a child's plastic pool works just as well.
Step2
Fill the bathtub with warm water about three quarters of the way full or enough to completely cover the blinds.
Step3
Add 1 gallon of white vinegar to the bathwater and swish it around with your hands. The vinegar will corrode the grime on the blinds without eating into the blinds themselves.
Step4
Let the blinds soak in the bathwater until the dirt has completely disintegrated. Stir the water to loosen surface dirt from the blinds.
Step5
Empty the bathtub and rinse the tub and blinds in cold water. Use the shower or showerhead attachment. Cleaning your bathtub fully after finishing with the blinds is highly recommended.
Step6
Allow blinds to dry outside on a large clean towel in the summertime. During cold weather, pat dry blinds using a soft clean towel before hanging back on the window.
Step7
Dust blinds weekly to help maintain the blinds and prevent the build up of moisture and grime. An old sock on the end of a broom handle is a good way to get between the slats.
