Quick and Easy Way to Keep Your Blinds Clean

In a big city like Phoenix, we all deeply desire privacy.  So we go to Next Day Blinds and buy beautiful blinds, shades or curtains to enhance the style as well as the privacy of our homes.  Unfortunately, we realize a few days later that also because we live in a desert, there is a lot of dust.  Because no one wants to spend a lot of time dusting and cleaning their blinds, here are a couple of tips to help keep them clean.

To keep up with the weekly cleaning of your Next Day Blinds, all you need is a vacuum cleaner or duster, such as a swiffer. A quick once-over every week will keep the dust from building up without taking a lot of time.

Because we have such low humidity, we don’t have to worry too much about grim or mold growing on our blinds; however, it is still a good idea to take them down and give them a good cleaning once or twice a year.  If you have wood blinds, simply take a damp cloth and wipe them down thoroughly.  Don’t immerse them in water.  On the other hand if you have plastic or aluminum blinds you can take them down and soak them either in the bathtub or on a drop cloth outside.  Spray them down with a light cleaner and let them soak for about 15 minutes before wiping them down.  The important thing to remember when cleaning aluminum blinds is that they bend and dent very easily, so be careful.  Once they have been wiped down, gently rinse them off with clean water.  After that has been completed you can hang them outside to dry — it won’t take long in this heat –or dry them with a towel.  They can be re-hung as soon as they are dry.

Although it can be a time consuming process, it is worth it for the style and privacy they provide.
