To clean your vertical blinds, dust each slat with a feather duster or microfiber cloth.

Because the built-in blinds are encased in glass, they should not get dusty. You might, however, find that your door’s window panes get dirty. If that is the case and you wish to clean your patio door’s glass, first remove any loose debris with a small vacuum or brush. Next, fill a bucket with warm water and some mild dish soap. Dip a clean rag into the bucket and wet the glass on your patio door. Dry the glass with a clean microfiber cloth.

A microfiber cloth or blind duster is typically the best tool for normal dust accumulation, depending on the extent of the dirt. However, if the blinds are unusually dirty or require scrubbing, or if they’re made of a more delicate material such as wood, check with the blind manufacturer for cleaning recommendations. Cleaning professionals will have the tools and experience necessary to tackle your blinds, making them look new again.
