The interior blinds need to be cleaned regularly, but it is a time
consuming job and not everyone has the time or the energy to light clean them
on a regular basis. As a result, they will gather dust, dirt and grease and
they will need to be deep cleaned. There is also the option that you have moved
into a new home and you are keeping the blinds and they really need to be
thoroughly cleaned. But even if you clean them light on a regular basis, there
will come a moment when you will really have to deep clean them and remove all
the dirt from the places that are less approachable.
All venetian blinds need
a deep clean from time to time and it isn’t a really hard job if you plan
carefully and save a day just for this job.
Be careful with the more sensitive
materials
If you own wooden blinds, you cannot really deep clean them. The
wood or the faux wood cannot be exposed to chemical substances, or even to
water and humidity and deep cleaning them can destroy them. Therefore, if your
blinds are made from these materials, stick to light cleaning, to dry dusting
on a regular basis and they will be just fine, taking into consideration the
fact that the wooden blinds don’t have inaccessible holes like the other ones.
Learn the deep cleaning process
The first step is to take down the venetian blinds. Afterwards the
cleaning process will begin. You can clean them in a tub, hanged by a fence or
on a concrete surface outdoors. If you choose to clean them into your tub you
can leave them to soak for a couple of hours in water and detergent. You can
wash them easily with dish detergent, but there are many types of solutions. If
you wash them outside just spray the solution on them and let it sit. Now the
scrubbing part begins. With a light brush scrub everything off and then rinse
the blinds. Don’t forget to hang them and let them dry properly, to avoid mold.
