Here’s a simple, safe, and effective way to clean your window blinds without taking them down or using harsh chemicals:
🪟 Quick & Easy Blind Cleaning Trick
What You’ll Need:
- A pair of old socks (cotton works best)
- Vinegar and water solution: mix 1 part white vinegar + 2 parts warm water
- Optional: a few drops of mild dish soap
- A bowl or small bucket
Steps:
- Slip the Sock On Your Hand
- Use it like a little cleaning mitten.
- This lets you grab each slat individually without scratching them.
- Dip in Cleaning Solution
- Wet the sock in the vinegar-water mixture.
- Wring out excess liquid—you want it damp, not dripping.
- Wipe Each Slat
- Place your hand inside the sock and run it along the top and bottom of each slat.
- Flip the sock to clean the other side.
- Dry as You Go
- Use a clean, dry cloth or a dry part of the sock to remove excess moisture.
- Repeat if Needed
- For very dusty blinds, rinse the sock or switch to a fresh one halfway through.
💡 Extra Tips:
- Microfiber cloths work too if you don’t want to use socks.
- Regular maintenance: wiping blinds every 1–2 weeks prevents heavy dust buildup.
- For deep cleaning, remove the blinds and soak in a bathtub with warm water and mild soap.
