I just cleaned my vertical blinds yesterday. I had just discovered your vids and I had a bunch of them playing while I did it. (Mine were dirty and I took them down, one at a time and washed them on the kitchen table while listening to you. :-) I literally kept getting more ideas of what I could clean that hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Then you inspired me to head to Target and get some supplies. Yay for you.

If your taking them down, Murphy's oil soap works great. Just fill the tub with a coupler inches of water, add about 1/2 cup Murphy's, let sit 5-10 minutes. Then raise up & down in water. Dirt slides right off. Throw a towel down in the floor and let them dry. Wipe down with microfibert rag if nessessary. Rehang!!!,😊

I have been a professional cleaner for 21 years and I used to use dish soap for jobs like this, but when I discovered TSP my life became much simpler. Love Love Love it. I do remove them when they are disgusting and put them in the tub with TSP. Smokers blinds have nicotine on the strings and they only come clean in the tub. Thanks. Hope you are having a fun day :)

yes it should make a difference if it is nicotine. They do need to be immersed in the tub in warm water though. Not HOT! as heat sets stains. It is a straight chemical so brand is not specific. Follow the instructions on the package. I would mix it in a pail and then add to the tub, kinda hard to mix in the tub.

I do a quick dry dusting of my wood mini blinds using the same long mop- style duster you use, weekly. Monthly, I use a damp microfiber cloth and close the blinds and wipe in both directions left/right and then repeat with a dry microfiber cloth. Then I open:close blinds in opposite direction and repeat process. I do find that if I keep blinds closed in direction where people cannot see in through blinds, they stay a little cleaner.

Close blinds and dust from & back from top to bottom....Then open blinds & close the opposite way. Dust both sides again from top to bottom. Open blinds & admire = ) Hope this idea can work for others too,
