How to Clean Blinds

Cleaning blinds probably isn’t at the top of your list for fun things to do. Unfortunately, it is a job that needs to be done periodically to remove built-up dust and grime, or even grease spots and greasy residue if the blinds are in your kitchen. Tub O’ Towels heavy duty wipes are ready for all kinds of dirty jobs, including when you are trying to figure out how to clean blinds.

The Harder Way to Clean Blinds

The first (harder) step to cleaning blinds – wood, plastic, metal, mini blinds – is to either remove excess dust by vacuuming with a soft, dusting brush attachment or dusting with a microfiber cloth, glove or duster. Start at the top and work down, moving from left to right. Vacuum any dust that falls to the floor when done dusting. That’s the easier part. For stuck-on dust and grime, many websites recommend giving your blinds a bath…literally. Here are the basic steps to clean mini blinds and plastic blinds using a bathtub:

1. Put towels in the bathtub to protect it from scratching.
2. Fill the tub with warm water and a squeeze of dish soap.
3. Stir the water to dissolve the dish soap.
4. Extend the blind fully and open the slats while still hanging.
5. Remove the blind from the window.
6. Place blinds in the tub, keeping the top rail over the side of the tub so it doesn’t get wet.
7. Soak blinds for 20-30 minutes.
8. Scrub blinds gently to remove stuck-on dirt, grease or stains.
9. Drain the tub.
10. Rinse the blinds with clean water.
11. Lay the blinds out flat to dry.
12. Let blinds thoroughly dry before re-hanging them on your window.
