Tips for Cleaning Your Blinds and Shutters
- Be sure to dust with your favorite furniture spray, (which will give them a nice shine and smell fresh) and take a vacuum to them during your routine cleaning. (this will make it easier on you to do a deeper clean once a year)
- If you have metal horizontal blinds or blinds that may be made from wood, the best thing to clean them with is a spray that is made for dust on wood and an allergy reducing type spray. Be sure to dry your blinds so they will not attract more dust. A good suggestion for wiping down your blinds is to use a dryer sheet.
- Shutters, they can be a pain to keep clean, but they are actually one of the easiest types of window dressing to keep clean. All you need is a washrag and some spray for wood cleaning and a little time in your day. Make sure you dust at least every other week or so, or as needed.
