Window blinds are easy to install. The treatment also looks simple but classy. However, it may be difficult to clean these fixtures unless you know the techniques. It is not enough to wipe the dust off. You must also protect the treatment from damage as well. In the case of wooden blinds, avoid using detergents since too much moisture combined with chemicals can deform the material. It can also produce discoloration.
Check your window treatment for any blemishes. Try to remove by rubbing paper towel on the stained portion. Use a wood cleaner if the stain is stubborn. Simply apply a small amount with soft cloth and wipe the blot off. If you only need to dust, use the wool, feather or micro-fiber duster. Wipe down and not upwards since it can unfasten the slats accidentally. Use the vacuum cleaner with soft brush accessory to avoid damaging the window shades.
You can also wipe the panels with cotton glove or old sock. Move your fingers from one end to the other. Chafe a sheet of fabric softener sheet and rub your hands along the slats. This helps lessen buildup of static electricity that can attract dirt. Or, immerse a soft paintbrush in the liquid softener and wipe it across the panels.
If the window blinds have become very dirty, spray a bit of oil soap before wiping down to make the furnishing look tidy and shimmering. Make the wooden blinds look polished is to touch lightly the slats with diluted wood cleaner. A homemade option is the solution consisting of ¼ cup of olive oil mixed with warm water in a tiny bowl. You may also make household furniture polish specifically for varnished wood by putting several drops of lemon oil (essential) in ½ cup of warm water. These inexpensive potions have been proven effective.
