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.

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.

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.

Window treatments fall under the categories of hard, soft, and layered. Hard refers to stiff, formed treatments that include window blinds and shutters. Soft refers to cloth window treatments that include drapes and curtains. Finally, layered refers to the combination of soft and hard treatments. For example, you might place flowing drapes over blinds to combine the practicality of a treatment that blocks the sun with the whimsical and elongating aesthetic of a full-window drape.
