How To Clean Window Blinds

Window blinds require monthly cleaning just like other parts of the house. Over time they accumulate dust particles just like a coffee table or television stand does. Thankfully, they are not hard to clean at all. In approximately fifteen minutes you can safely and easily clean all of the blinds in your house without generating a sweat. Here is how you can do it.

Tools 
  

1. An old cotton sock
2. White vinegar 
3. Water

Instructions

Get a bowl or Tupperware and put some white vinegar into it. Dilute up to half of it with some water. Take the old sock and put it on your hand.  Dip the tip of your hand, with the sock on it, in the vinegar. Run your hands along the slats of the blinds.  Make sure you do not press too hard.  Just a little pressure is fine.

Repeat the process for each slat until you have gotten them all. After half a blind dip the tip of your hand back into the vinegar to re-moisten it.

Some people have recommended using a dry cloth or duster to clean your windows. The problem I have with this method is that the dust is scattered into the air and ends up settling on the window again.  When you use a wet sock the dust adheres to it.

Vinegar is safe for most surfaces and will not damage wood, metal or plastic. Additional, do not to soak your soak in the solution. Get your sock damp but make sure you do not over saturate your sock. Just a dab is fine.So this once a month and you should be fine unless you live in a particularly really dusty area.
