Summer is a great time to replace your windows, doors, or blinds, but it’s also a good opportunity to do some quick maintenance and check that everything is working well. Blinds collect more than just dust. Depending on the room, they can also pick up pet hair, pollen, cooking grease, moisture, and small particles from outside.
Cleaning them regularly not only makes them look better, but also keeps the area around your windows cleaner, protects the blinds, and helps them work smoothly.
For most homes, cleaning blinds and shades is simple. Dust or vacuum them every week or two, wipe up stains as soon as you notice them, and give them a deeper clean every few months. But the best way to clean your blinds depends on their type. Roller, zebra, cellular, vinyl, aluminum, wood, and motorized blinds all react differently to water, soap, pressure, and heat.
