Most of us clean our windows often, but how many clean their blinds? Your blinds need plenty of tender loving care, too. Whether blinds are fabric, wood, aluminum, or vinyl, they keep a room cool and prevent people from seeing us, but they can get dirty over time. 

There are times when you may need professional cleaning of your blinds. But if you are on a budget at the moment, there are some simple cleaning tricks you can do: 

First, you need to collect your cleaning products, which usually consist of: 

• Vacuum equipped with a soft brush tool
• Several microfiber clothes
• Dish soap
• Water
• Baking soda

Second, you need to close your blinds. Wood blinds should be completely closed, but aluminum blinds usually overlap so should not be entirely closed. 

Third, dust your blinds with a microfiber cloth. You should begin from the top and go down. Use a downward wiping motion or your blinds could get unhooked. 

Also, use your vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment to suck up dust. If you have horizontal blinds, you use the same process. The difference is you just clean from one side to the other. 

Fourth, flip your blinds to the other side and repeat the cleaning process with a vacuum or microfiber cloth. 

Fifth, use a wet cloth if your blinds are really dirty. A microfiber cloth with warm water is effective to get the grit off. 

Sixth, if you have blinds in the kitchen where they get really greasy or dusty, they might need a deeper clean. Remove the blinds from the window and put them in the tub with warm water. Use dish soap and baking soda in the water and allow them to soak for an hour. Rinse with water. 

Finish the process by wiping off any remaining dust or dirt. 

Last, if you just used a damp cloth on your blinds, open each of them and allow them to dry. Vacuum any dust that fell off while you performed your dusting. 

If you follow the above guidelines, you can do a solid job cleaning your blinds. However, if you do not want to spend the time on this work, you always can hire an ultrasound blind cleaning service to do the job. 

This is an advanced cleaning process that can be performed quickly and affordably. If you are ready to just toss your old blinds in the trash, you can give them new life with ultrasound blind cleaning.
