If properly maintained, cellular shades should last between five to seven years. This makes them on the lower end of the lifespan spectrum, which other higher quality shades materials like wood lasting closer to 10 to 15 years.

Cleaning blinds around the house usually takes about one to two hours, depending on the number of blinds, amount of cleaning required, and what type of blinds. Lightly dusting can take as little as 10 minutes. However, a deep cleaning of heavily soiled or greasy blinds may require taking the blinds down and scrubbing them. Drying time will also add to how long it takes to clean your blinds.

Although it’s essential to clean your blinds every month or two as a best practice for keeping them dirt and dust-free, professional blind cleaning is often a more practical way to go. One significant benefit to having your blinds cleaned professionally is the overall saved time, as cleaning them yourself can be time-consuming. Other benefits include:

• Ensuring that dirt and dust, which can cause health issues in those with sensitivities, are fully removed

• Increasing the life expectancy of your current blinds to save money on replacements

• Ensuring that your blinds are cleaned thoroughly and correctly, as blinds can be complex

Insulating windows without plastic is usually the better method. Outside of simply replacing your windows, you could buy cellular shades, which trap air between the window and the home, add a window film that blocks UV rays and traps heat, or cover your windows with a low-emissivity coating called “low-E.”
