They can fit perfectly in pretty much any room and bring a more sophisticated look to your home. And while they are sturdier than aluminium, for example, they are a bit sensitive when it comes to cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s get down to business. <strong>Here\u2019s how to clean wooden blinds the easy way:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regular dusting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to keep cleaning your blinds from becoming a tedious task, dusting them once a week is generally enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need to do is lay the slats flat and wipe any dust off them with a feather duster or a soft cloth. Then, turn them to the other side and repeat. We recommend moving the cloth or duster with the grain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s all! If you want to prevent dust from flying everywhere, you can vacuum your wooden blinds with a soft brush attachment instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Removing stains from wooden blinds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If light dusting doesn\u2019t get rid of any grime that might have built up, you\u2019ll need to do some more heavy-duty cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you can try is lightly scraping the stain off with a paper towel. Don\u2019t apply too much pressure; just gently scrape it off. If that doesn\u2019t do the trick, a cleaning solution is in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grab a wood cleaner or polish, and let\u2019s get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Spray.<\/strong> Spray the wood cleaner lightly on the blinds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Let it sit.<\/strong> Let the product sit and work its magic for a few minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wipe.<\/strong> Take a slightly damp cloth and wipe away the cleaner along with the grime.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dry.<\/strong> Thoroughly dry each slat with a dry, soft cloth. Make sure no moisture is left.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a more natural solution, you can try the method below instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prepare a cleaning solution.<\/strong> Mix a bit of freshly squeezed lemon juice with some isopropyl alcohol.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clean.<\/strong> Dip a soft-bristle brush into the solution and dab it onto the slats to remove the stains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dry.<\/strong> Again, use a dry cloth to remove any excess moisture from the blinds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>And there you go! Now you know how to clean wooden blinds the right way. With a bit of regular upkeep, they will live a long and happy life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional tips when cleaning wooden blinds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some things to keep in mind when cleaning wooden blinds:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> <strong>Avoid harsh chemicals.<\/strong><br>Strong detergents can easily damage your wooden blinds\u2019 finish.

That\u2019s why people love them. But they\u2019re also absolute magnets for dust, grease, and all the stuff floating around your home. Especially in the kitchen. One week they look fresh\u2026 next week they\u2019re dull and slightly sticky. You know the feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick clean now and then makes a big difference. Your room looks better. The air feels a bit lighter too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to keep in mind<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not all fun and games, though, as even plastic blinds have some specifics to pay attention to.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> <strong>Plastic blinds attract dust.<\/strong><br>Thanks to their high static build-up and the fact that it\u2019s a porous material, plastic blinds attract lots of dirt and dust particles. So, cleaning them regularly is essential.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> <strong>They can scratch easily.<\/strong><br>If you want to avoid scratches, cleaning your plastic blinds with a soft, non-abrasive cloth is a must.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> <strong>Avoid strong detergents.<\/strong><br>As with wood, strong chemicals can ruin the look of your plastic blinds, too. Stick to gentle or natural cleaning solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weekly quick clean &#8211; the lazy win<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the easy one. Takes a few minutes, saves you a bigger job later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Close the blinds fully in one direction. Grab a microfibre cloth or a soft duster. Then just wipe each slat, top to bottom. You\u2019ll see the dust come straight off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to speed things up, use the vacuum with a brush attachment. It\u2019s oddly satisfying watching the dust disappear without flying everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now twist the blinds the other way. Do the same thing again. Done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No drama, no mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deep clean for when things get a bit\u2026 grim<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your blinds feel sticky or look patchy, it\u2019s time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take them down carefully. Fill your bathtub (or a big container) with warm water. Add a small splash of mild detergent\u2014nothing fancy. Let the blinds soak for 10\u201320 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the part where the grime loosens and you start to feel productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, wipe each slat gently with a soft sponge or cloth. No scrubbing like you\u2019re cleaning a frying pan. Keep it light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rinse them well\u2014your showerhead works perfectly here. Then hang them up to dry fully before putting them back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One important thing\u2014don\u2019t use very hot water. Plastic can warp. Then you\u2019ve got a bigger problem than dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick spot clean<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes you don\u2019t need a full clean. Just a quick fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mix a bit of warm water with a few drops of dish soap. Or go half water, half white vinegar if you\u2019ve got grease to deal with. Dab the solution onto a cloth\u2014not directly onto the blinds. Then wipe the spot gently. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Works especially well for kitchen blinds where things tend to get\u2026 a bit oily over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"Fabric_blinds\">How to clean fabric blinds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"908\" height=\"423\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/How-to-clean-fabric-blinds-and-shades.jpg\" alt=\"How to clean fabric blinds and shades\" class=\"wp-image-4332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/How-to-clean-fabric-blinds-and-shades.jpg 908w, https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/How-to-clean-fabric-blinds-and-shades-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/How-to-clean-fabric-blinds-and-shades-768x358.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 908px) 100vw, 908px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">sunit paenphat \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Fabric blinds are indeed beautiful.

Fabric is more prone to trapping dust, too, so unless you\u2019re fond of sneezing every time you walk past your window, spend a bit of extra time every week to clean them. Don\u2019t forget to clean both sides, too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> <strong>Inspect your shades after cleaning.<\/strong><br>You might not notice if a thread has come loose right away, but that can quickly become a problem.

You only need the panels themselves, so unstring them if you need to.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vacuum.<\/strong><br>Get rid of any loose dust and dirt with a vacuum, using the upholstery attachment.

If you notice the water turning brown or murky, change it. This will prevent any dirt from getting back onto the fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintenance tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So, that\u2019s cleaning taken care of. Now let\u2019s talk about fabric blind maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> <strong>Dust regularly.<\/strong><br>To avoid attracting more dirt, which can end up in discolouration, dust or vacuum your fabric blinds often. At least once a month is recommended.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> <strong>Pay attention to folds and creases.<\/strong><br>Your fabric blinds can be different types, like Roman, pleated, or cellular. No matter which kind you have, pay close attention to any folds, pleat lines, creases, etc. These areas trap more dirt, so you\u2019ll need to put in a bit more effort to remove it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> <strong>Don\u2019t forget the back.<\/strong><br>Cleaning your fabric blinds is pretty much pointless if you only clean the front.

You now know how to clean blinds properly, be they plastic, fabric, or wooden. Plough forward with confidence, and enjoy your spotless window coverings! And should you decide the hassle is too much for you &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/sydney\/blind-cleaning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">call a professional blinds cleaner<\/a> to do the job for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning stained shades<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If a spill happens, you need to act immediately. A bit of dish soap and warm water should do the trick. Using a sponge, blot the spot with the soapy solution, rinse it with clean water and another clean sponge and let it air dry. Just make sure to do a spot test in an inconspicuous area first, just in case. Taking care of stains right away will eliminate the need to give your shades a bath later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning mould off fabric shades<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Mouldy blinds not only look terrible but can pose a health risk, too. To remove mould from fabric blinds or shades, take a soft brush and scrub away as much of it as possible. If you want to avoid breathing it in, we recommend wearing a face mask or other protective equipment. You can also vacuum the mould off, but you\u2019ll have to throw away the vacuum bag immediately, as it will be contaminated. Once the dry mould is taken care of, grab a clean cloth and some mild detergent and clean each panel, starting from the top and working your way down. Finally, let the blinds air dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"How_to_clean_different_types_of_blinds\">How to clean different types of blinds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know how materials behave, this part gets easier.

This gives you a flat surface instead of trying to clean each edge individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Run a cloth or vacuum gently across, working top to bottom. Once done, tilt the slats the opposite way and repeat. That way, you\u2019re actually cleaning both sides properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re dealing with anything more than dust, follow up with a lightly damp cloth (only if the material allows it), then dry straight after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to watch \u2014 pressure. It\u2019s easy to bend slats without realising, especially with aluminium ones.

This opens up the fabric so you\u2019re not missing sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a vacuum with a brush attachment and go slowly over each fold.

But for regular maintenance, in-place cleaning works fine.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d9dd;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f3f7;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a41;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><strong>Learn also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/how-to-clean-roman-blinds-at-home\/\">How to Clean Roman Blinds at Home<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to clean vertical blinds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vertical blinds are a bit different since you\u2019re dealing with individual slats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way is to clean one slat at a time, holding it steady as you wipe from top to bottom. This stops them from swinging around and makes the job quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you do next depends on the material:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fabric slats should be vacuumed first, then spot cleaned carefully.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PVC or plastic slats can be wiped with a damp cloth or mild detergent solution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If they\u2019re very dirty, some vertical slats can be removed and washed \u2014 but only if the material allows it. Always check first, because fabric versions don\u2019t handle full washing well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Takeaways\">Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Regular dusting and <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/sydney\/regular-domestic-cleaning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">general upkeep<\/a> are important, no matter the blind material.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> When cleaning wooden blinds, avoid moisture, as that can damage them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> For wooden blinds, choose a cleaning product specifically for wood or a mixture of lemon juice and isopropyl alcohol.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Plastic blinds (also called bistro or cafe blinds) can be hosed down and wiped or left to air dry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> You can use a plastic blind cleaner to tackle tough stains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Take care when cleaning fabric blinds or shades not to damage them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Spot treat fabric blinds as soon as a stain happens to prevent it from setting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> If you haven\u2019t cleaned your fabric blinds in a while, you can wash them with soapy water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"check-price-box\">\n    <p class=\"title\">Do you need a helping hand?<\/p>\n\n    <p class=\"subtitle\">Hire a professional cleaning team!<\/p>\n\n\t\n<form class=\"check-price-form dynamic-helper\" action=\"\">\n    <span class=\"the-postfield-wrap\">\n        <input class=\"the-postfield\" type=\"text\" name=\"postcode-field\" placeholder=\"\"  >\n        <div class=\"typewriter-box\">\n            <span class=\"typewriter\"><\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"moving-label\">Enter your postcode<\/span>\n        <label for=\"postcode-field\" class=\"error-message\">Add a valid postcode e.g. 3000<\/label>\n    <\/span>\n    <span class=\"submit-wrapper-with-loader active\">\n        <div class=\"load-holder-lds-eclipse\">\n            <div class=\"load-lds-eclipse\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <input class=\"check-price-form__btn checkPricesSubmit\" name=\"check-prices-submit\" type=\"submit\" \n        value=\"Check prices &#038; availability\" rel=\"nofollow\" disabled>\n    <\/span>\n<\/form><\/div><div style='width:auto;' id=\"relatedpostslite_\"\r\n     class='rpl rpl_slick'>\r\n<div class='rpl_container'>\r\n\r\n\r\n    <legend>Related Posts<\/legend>\r\n\r\n<div class='rpl_wrapper'>\r\n            \r\n        <div num=1             post_type='post'\r\n             class='rpl_item rpl_visible current'>\r\n\r\n\r\n            <div class='rpl_inner'>\r\n\r\n                                    <div class='rpl_img'>\r\n                        <img src='https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bfi_thumb\/remove-pet-hair-from-carpet-rkywj4hlxhzm65fhqxrk0pm7i8v3ep4cs461xxfzg0.jpg'\/>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                \r\n\r\n                <p class='rpl_title'>\r\n                    <a href='https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/how-to-get-pet-hair-out-of-carpet\/'>\r\n                        Is Vacuuming Failing?
