Cleaning Tips for Window Blinds

If you want to make sure that your window blinds last as long as possible, it is crucial that you take the time to maintain them. This means, among other things, keeping them clean. For many people, this is not as simple as it sounds, since different blinds can require different cleaning strategies. If you want to learn how to best take care of the blinds, there are some tips that providers of window blinds in Poway, CA want you to keep in mind.   

Dusting regularly is essential. People do not realize how much damage dust and debris can do to window blinds of all sorts. You want to run a duster regularly over the blinds to make sure that the dust does not build up. It is important to use soft cloth for this or a duster. For some people, using a vacuum cleaner is also a good option, so do consider that. After dusting, you should consider using dryer-sheets or antistatic products on the slats of the blinds.  

If you have aluminum or vinyl blinds, you can take them down and wash them to remove any stains. Many times, especially if you have blinds in the kitchen area, stains can appear, but it can be easy to remove them. You can lay the blinds down in a tub with warm, soapy water and wash them. You can let them soak a while and then wipe them with a sponge or even a toothbrush if the stains are in awkward spots. Rinse them clean and then set them out to dry.   

For blinds made of real wood, you do not want to get them wet. Instead, use furniture polish or even lemon oil to wipe away the stains that they may have and to increase the shine. If you see that there are serious stains that furniture polish cannot remove, you will want to carefully wipe the stains with a bit of soapy water and a soft cloth. As soon as you finish, rinse the spot and dry it. This can prevent water stains from developing.   

If you have vertical blinds, you may find them a bit more challenging to clean, but using a vacuum cleaner can be the right choice. You will want to start at the top of the slat and work your way down. Place a towel under the blinds and then start wiping them with soapy water.   

Having window blinds that look great and that function as they should means keeping them clean. These tips can help you do just that so that you do nor run into any issues. Whether you have wood or vinyl blinds, you can get them clean and looking their best with few hassles.
