Get matched with top blind cleaners in Carnegie, OK

To clean your vertical blinds, dust each slat with a feather duster or microfiber cloth. If you need to deep clean the slats, you can remove them and wipe them down with mild soap and water (check the material though, since not every material can handle water). You can also vacuum out dust from the track using a vacuum attachment with a brush.

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

If you want to avoid taking the blinds down, cleaning them weekly with a microfiber duster or vacuum can help take care of dust and dirt before they turn into stains. Otherwise, hold the blinds to keep them stable and go over them with a damp microfiber cloth. If you need to use diluted vinegar or a mild detergent, dip your cloth, wipe them down, then follow up with a clean, damp microfiber cloth.

Depending on your existing cleaning supplies, cellular shades can be more difficult to clean. Their material is more delicate and cannot get wet, meaning you’ll need to rely on vacuums, compressed air, and hair dryers to get the shades clean. This could mean extra strain on your back and shoulders compared to cleaning other parts of your home.
