Methods

• Plastic, vinyl and metal blinds wash up well when placed in a bath solution and rinsed off. Wooden blinds should be cleaned with furniture polish. Clean fabric blinds with a vacuum cleaner.
  
  

Process

• Take down plastic, vinyl or metal blinds. Fill a large with water, 2 tbsp. of white vinegar and 2 tbsp. of liquid dish soap. Soak blinds, gently scrub off any stains and rinse clean. For wooden blinds, wear a sock over a rubber glove, spray furniture polish on the glove and wipe clean. Vacuum dust from fabric blinds using a crevice or brush tool if necessary.
  
  

Maintenance

• Help keep blinds clean by wiping dry, clean blinds with a dryer fabric softener sheet. This helps eliminate static and makes it more difficult for dust to stick to the blinds, according to the Merry Maids website.
