If you look online for advise of how to clean your wood blinds, you will find videos of people putting their blinds in the bathtub, hosing them down in the backyard, and spraying all sorts of cleaning agents on them. Now, to be sure wood blinds are fairly tough and will hold up under lots of abuse before giving out, but most of these practices will void your manufacturer's warranty.
Keep in mind, this only applies to your REAL wood blind not your FAUX wood blind. So with that said, here is the manufacturer approved methods for cleaning your wood blind.
Actually, occasional cleaning is recommended. Your blind can be cleaned in place or you can take it down. By tilting the slats down, but not quite closed, you’ll be able to clean most of the top surface of each slat. Your blind can be cleaned by wiping it with a soft cloth, feather duster, dusting mitt or by using the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner.
Do not use water, solvents or any type of abrasive to clean the blind. This will cause damage to the blind, which is not covered under your warranty. In a very dusty environment, a non-wax furniture polish can be used to clean the blind.
Of course, maybe you are ready for some new wood blinds in which case we would love to help you. Also, for a rough idea of what your project might cost, check out our online wood and faux wood blind calculator.
