- Day 27/30 of our Spring Cleaning Spree! Cleaning our blinds is next on the list. Here are some quick tips on how to clean different types of blinds:
Dusting/Vacuuming: The first step for pretty much any type of blind is to remove as much dust/dry debris you can. I love using my Swiffer for this, or my Hoover Emerge vacuum because it has great attachments and is cordless (Which makes it easy to move from one window to the next.)
Washing Mini Vinyl Blinds: For vinyl blinds that are removable, for spring cleaning, I love to take them completely down and wash them in my bathtub. MAKE SURE to not put the top mechanism into the water, as this will cause damage. I use warm water with a bit of Dawn dish soap, scrubbing and wiping them down with a microfiber cloth or Scrub Daddy sponge.
Most other blinds (Metal and Wood Venetian, Vertical, Fabric, and Roller blinds) are going to need to be cleaned in place. After you remove all of the dust, I suggest mixing warm water with a drop of Dawn soap and using my three-towel microfiber cloth system. If your blinds are fabric, always consult the manufacturer’s instructions first. They may call for special cleaning solutions, or you can spot clean with the warm water/Dawn Dish soap mix. Just be careful to test a small/inconspicuous spot first.
To dry our blinds, you can always wipe them down with a dry microfiber cloth; or for our vinyl blinds I love to hang them up using my Gator Magnetics clip and dry them outside. Let me know what type of blinds you’ll be cleaning below!

I needed this! I always feel like I’m going to break them while cleaning them, so I just don’t do it or do it poorly. 😢 I’ll try this out instead
You got this! 🙂
I love your three cloth method it’s the best ❤ thank you for posting. You unlocked a memory for me: I was cleaning blinds like these in our first house and it wasn’t going well. I was struggling and breaking the blinds or they just weren’t coming clean. I was doing it for two days (I was not as cleaning experienced). My hubs came out and said “you know those blinds are just $10 each we can get new ones” I almost cried 😂❤
Oh my gosh.... this gives memories. Back in the late 80s I spent 2 weeks cleaning blinds in several houses. One person saw me out cleaning the blinds and hired me. I didn't clean blinds for 6 months after that. It was lucrative thought.
Omg I requested tips on wooden blinds! Thank you!
I really enjoy these videos. I like how they are short and concise. Thank you! Go God!
If you have to get grease or nicotine off blinds, TSP is cheap and highly effective too
Dear God glad to know im not the only one hanging her blinds outside to air dry .. i keep wondering what the neighbors thought about my tweaking cleaning looking like 🤣
I remember my grandmother putting her metal Venetian blind in the bathtub and cleaning them that way
That's awesome!
I’ve always wondered how can I clean blinders, and now I know! Will try as soon as I return to my house!
I had some blinds that were beyond scrubbing in a rental (roomate's room after he moved out--he smoked a ton of weed near them lol) I removed them, then I soaked them in sink with warm soapy water and ran it through the dishwasher. WAS BRAND NEW.
I learn so much!
Thats how i clean! Yesss! Dawn soap works wonders! & i use the gain one and it smells good & cleans amazingly
Please make a video on how to take the blinds down.
I live in an apartment complex. Two sets of double window blinds and four single window blinds. I’d rather clean a toilet than blinds, frankly. Don’t know how, or if, I can take the blinds down.
Thank you... I need to clean the blinds in my shop .. they was already here when I got the place and I desperately need to clean them
I have this 3 clawed microfiber tool that I use on all our white wooden blinds 😇
Thank you so much!! This is so helpful!
I needed this! I always use 1 microfibre and have to rewash over and over and it tends to leave a wet dog smell on the counters.

Exactly how I clean my blinds.
So I've always seen people talking about using dish soap without rinsing it off on a lot of things, I'm wondering, that doesn't cause any sticky residue? I use it on a lot of things (sooo great for showers) but I always rinse it. Also, I have a similar system to your three rag system! If the blinds are really bad, I'll vacuum it with the hose attachment, then a duster, cleaning solution, and dry rag to get any leftovers off. It works!
I was wondering about the residue as well. He also does some with alcohol, water, and dish soap. But im guessing he uses such a small amount (most people use way more than needed) and dilutes it so it may not leave residue or thats why he always goes in with the wet towel to rinse afterwards
you are not sounding like a broken record 😊 ❤
I always end up bending those metal blinds, no matter what I do it just was clean properly without getting bent 😭 might have to try this next weekend
I love love this channel
the BATHTUB is the best place to clean your blinds!!
You’re such a good person tysm 😭😭😭

Do you have a video on how to clean those paper-like blinds? I think theyre called cellulose blinds. The house we bought has those, and the ones in the kitchen are greasy.
That dollar tree brush is one of my favorites 😅
Same!
Best way is to spray blinds with greased lightening. Let sit for 5 mins, then hit it with a steam cleaner. I’m fussy af, and it takes me 15 to do each blind.
I use plastic blind from nearly 3 decades ago and they are cemented in dust. As a result they have quite a few metallic and mechanical parts as well as them being in large excess of nearly 9 feet in length. I want to use the tub method but I’m worried about rust. Is there any other method I could try for cleaning?
Ah man I don’t even have blinds to clean! 😮
😲😲😲
Can you put wooden blinds in the bathtub as well??
I hate my vertical blinds so much… my kids get their greasy fingers on them and I can’t get the grease off no matter what I use ☹️
For some of the really dirty ones I’ve cleaned I’ve actually taken them off and washed them carefully in the tub.
Wipe with some Simple Green Solution dilute with water then rinse off and wipe dry. TSP works too yet,must wear rubber gloves when using it.
The hook that on the garage door, is that screwed in?
Hey
About the Hoover pet vacuum (the stick one) does it need recharging?
Yes it uses a battery.
My slatted blinds are wood, so I can't soak them. It's infuriating!
I sub 🌺🌺🌺
my cats didn't want me to have blinds 🧍🏽♀️
