How to Clean Your Blinds
Did you know that keeping your blinds free and clear of accumulated dust, dirt, and grime will not only keep your house looking fresh but will also extend the life of your blinds? It's important to note that, depending on the materials of your blinds, the blind cleaning method will vary. Here at Rico's Window Coverings & Films in Sacramento, CA, wood blinds, metal blinds, and vertical vinyl blinds are all popular window treatments among our clients. For this reason, we'd like to discuss how to clean these blinds so they continue to look pristine and maintain their quality for years.
Regular Dusting for Long-Lasting Wood Blinds
Wood blinds, such as Hunter Douglas Parkland® Wood Blinds, are renowned for their timeless charm, natural warmth, and custom stains that go well with any decor. The high-quality materials and craftsmanship that define these woods will keep them a beautiful part of your home for decades. However, keeping them clean is a huge part of making them last. First, you'll want to make sure they get regular dusting since dust particles can damage the wood finish. Further, a mild soap diluted with water is excellent for spot-cleaning wood blinds, but it's very important you pat them dry so they keep their shape and color.
A Refreshing Deep Clean to Keep Metal Blinds Gleaming
Designed to be durable and low-maintenance, metal blinds such as Hunter Douglas Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds do not require much upkeep. However, they will require regular dusting and a periodic deep cleaning once or twice a year. A standard feather duster, microfiber cloth, or vacuum with a brush attachment will all work perfectly to clean any dust you notice.
For deep cleaning, wet a gentle cloth with lukewarm water and mild soap and scrub the blinds gently to remove any hard-to-remove stains.
Low-maintenance TLC for Vertical Vinyl Blinds
Vertical vinyl blinds are durable, moisture-resistant, and won't warp or fade. For this reason, they are a go-to choice for homeowners who want a low-maintenance window treatment. Typically, vertical vinyl blinds don't accumulate as much dust as the blinds above since their non-porous surface and vertical orientation allow dust to simply fall off. Still, though, they'll need a little TLC on occasion! Just like the other blinds, a dusting paired with periodic deep cleaning with a mild soap will work wonders. Importantly, even though these blinds are more durable than other materials, it's still crucial to avoid harsh cleaners as they may cause discoloration and degrade the vinyl over time.
