JinVA Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 My blinds have gotten really dirty and I'm not talking dust. The only way I can see it is cleaning each individual slat, but that seems like a major pain in the ass. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsWatch Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Take them down, take them outside and wash with hose first several times. Then use cleaning fluid and spray tough spots. Repeat as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebug Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) I usually take them down and hand them to the wife. I have no idea what happens after that. Edited December 10, 2012 by thebug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Throw them in the fuggin garbage. They cost like $3.99 at any home improvement store. And they're uglier than **** too. We yanked them off every window in the house we just bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice custom real wood ones cost well over 100 bucks and upward, depending on the size of the window. Smith+Noble has a nice online design selector...

So, if I have these vinyl mini blinds, does that make me white trash? Get a swiffer duster dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I think you missed a zero on your cost. Small windows... But you are right... Cost goes skyward! Anyway... Don't they have companies/guys that do in-home cleaning... I think they use ultrasonic cleaning methods? So, if I have these vinyl mini blinds, does that make me white trash? Get a swiffer duster dude. LoL... Got to stay on top of them! I suppose if they do not, the job is harder in the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
