Cleaning With Care
As there are all different kinds of blinds in various materials, it’s important to remember that what works for one kind of blind when cleaning, may not be suitable for another. It’s always a good idea to check and adhere to manufacturer recommendations when it comes to cleaning your blinds.
If you don’t plan on using any cleaning products each time you clean your blinds, there are still a few simple ways that you can clean them.
- A clean damp cloth is a great way to clean dust and dirt from your blinds; however, this can be a little more time-consuming and if you don’t have much time or don’t wish to be spending too long on housework, there are other options.
- A dust brush is fantastic for cleaning dust from blinds and there are even many brushes available now that are specifically designed for cleaning blinds. This is a quicker option than wiping each blind with a clean damp cloth; however, if you are prone to sneezing at the slightest sign of dust then this might not be your best option.
- For a quick blind clean that won’t leave you sneezing, place the appropriate attachment on your vacuum cleaner and begin cleaning. The vacuum cleaner will suck up any dust so it is not left floating in the air and it is a quick and simple way to rid your blinds of dirt.
