How To Maintain A Wooden Blind



Wooden blinds are very common today because of their ability to match any rooms or areas. However, when using wood blinds, it is important to keep them clean at all times. That way, you will be able to extend their lifespan. On the positive note, cleaning wood blinds isn’t that difficult. As a matter of fact, it is easier than you can ever think of. The cleaning process primarily depends on the kind of design as well as the medium used.

Cleaning the wooden blind slats

Blinds with slats can be very tiring to clean. If they are too dirty, then you need to uninstall them first. For day-to-day cleaning, all you need to do is to brush off the dust using a cleaning cloth. You can also wipe the blind using a clean dry cloth so as to prevent inadvertent seepage of water into the wood material. As you know, if the water happens to seep through the wood, then it would lead to discoloration and eventually warping of the wood. You should make sure that the wood blinds are free from any liquid residues.

Vacuuming is also one of the most effective ways of cleaning wood blinds. To use the vacuum, all you need to do is to attach the brush feature on the vacuum end. You have to brush the head across the slats. This wood blind cleaning method is ideal for day to day cleaning. It will prevent the accumulation of dust and other harmful particles in the air.
