If there is one thing that is really nightmarish for any housewife, it is cleaning the blinds.
Things get even worse when you have to remove and reinstall them. Blinds are not as easy to clean as curtains.
Yes, they also come off, but then they go straight to the washing machine.
The good news is that you can do a thorough cleaning of the blinds at home without having to remove them.
Steps to clean blinds without removing
As a first step, open the blinds and clean them of dust with a large brush or microfiber cloth.
Then take the vacuum cleaner and use its thin nozzle to remove the dust that has accumulated on the other components of the blinds.
Your next step is to wash the blinds.
The cleaning mixture depends on what material they are made of. If they are made of vinyl, aluminium or wood, you can use a mixture of gentle antibacterial soap or water. Use a comfortable and soft cloth for this purpose, memorizing from top to bottom.
Wipe tape by tape, not altogether.
What can we clean with sparkling water? Which houseplants can be dangerous? If you have fabric blinds or awnings, they should not be put in the washing machine.
You can clean them with stain remover only where necessary. If your blinds are made of natural wood, do not use water. They are cleaned with a dry cloth or vacuum cleaner.
The last step is to clean the strings themselves. They are fragile and influenced by everything. To do this, take a white towel and a suitable solution. Pass the whole string, with your movement down.
How to wash your windows easily?
For one with the blinds come the windows. We know that they are also a real nightmare for most housewives. First of all, you need to pick up a suitable cleaning tool.
Newspapers are easiest because they are cheap, do not scratch the surface and put a protective film on them. This prevents the windows from getting dirty quickly.
The domestic sponge is also convenient to wash. With its help, you will be able to easily remove the remaining detergent.
Another option is your coffee filters, they are as versatile and suitable as newspapers.
Clean the windows on a cloudy day. The secret is that during a sunny day, the water will dry faster and spots will remain. Also, the outside of the window is washed vertically and the inside horizontally. If the windows are very dirty, you can go first with a damp porous sponge. This will remove the top layer of dirt. You can then thoroughly clean the surface with a microfiber cloth. It is good that it has no moss so that no traces remain.
