Step 1: Dust your blinds regularly
Before you begin with a deep blind cleaning, you need to start by closing the blinds so they lie flat against the window. Use a microfibre cloth or even a soft brush duster to remove loose dust from the surface gently. A microfibre cloth works well to get all the grime.
Step 2: Wipe the blinds with a cleaning solution
For those stubborn grimes on your blinds, mix a few drops of dish soap with warm water to create a gentle cleaning solution. Dampen your microfibre cloth in the cleaning solution and wipe each slat carefully. Ensure that you don’t soak your blinds, as excess moisture can cause damage. Don’t forget to clean the tapes and cords. Run them through with your soapy, damp microfibre cloth. This will help remove dirt without damaging the cords.
Step 3: You need to let the blinds dry
After wiping down your blinds, use a dry cloth to remove any excess moisture. Allow them to air dry completely before adjusting or raising them. This prevents streaking and keeps them looking their best.

Knowing how to clean blinds the right way helps extend their lifespan and keeps them looking as good as new. The trick is to clean them often enough that dirt and dust never get the chance to build up. Dusting every couple of weeks and a deep clean every few months will keep them in great shape for longer. If your home collects dust quickly, then frequent cleaning is necessary to keep it looking fresh and spotless.
