How to clean blinds

Steps

1. 1

   Close the blinds flat so the slats face you.

2. 2

   Dust with the vacuum brush attachment or a dry microfibre cloth, working left to right, top to bottom.

3. 3

   Turn the slats to the other side and repeat.

4. 4

   For greasy or sticky slats, wrap a damp cloth around your hand and pinch each slat, sliding along it.

5. 5

   Do the cords and the headrail last, then buff any damp slats dry.

Kitchen blinds are grease traps. All-purpose cleaner on the cloth first, then wipe — never spray the blind directly.
