The whole process took me 15 minutes and should keep it clean for months.

Cleaning blinds are one of those tedious chores I'm forced to do and I've always loathed messing with it. I always use a dry wipe first and then a wet wipe to get the job done. Turns out I've been cleaning the blinds wrong all these years.

After picking up some great tips from the site, I set out to put them into practice, adding a few adaptations of my own to share with you along the way.

All in all, the entire process of cleaning a set of Venetian blinds or blinds on a medium-sized bedroom window should take no more than 15 minutes, and the energy required isn't too high, making it a weight-loss exercise. The shutters can be overlooked during springtime. Your frequency of use may vary, depending on your tolerance for dust and how much the blinds start to naturally fall on the windows.

Remember, if you still plan to vacuum the house, dust the blinds and other areas first and save the floor vacuuming for last. I do.

Start by packing everything near your blinds

Obviously, this step should never be skipped, as it may coat items near the shutter with a thick layer of dust. Dust and dirt can settle in even a tiny layer on any clothing, paper or other items on the floor below the window. Put your stuff on a table or bed, or better yet cover it up with a cover.

If the blinds are really dirty, take care of protection

This time the dust layer on the shutters was light enough that I didn't have to worry too much about inhaling too many dust particles. You can wear a mask or scarf around your nose and mouth to protect your lungs - and then you can wash them off when you're done.

Dry clean, don't get wet!

My biggest mistake before was trying to wet the plastic blinds before wiping them with a dry paper towel. This is a very wrong way of cleaning. A damp paper towel does absorb a lot of dirt and seems to help dissolve some of the dust in hard-to-reach corners. However, the job is quicker and more efficient when it is dry-cleaned first.

There is one exception to this: If the blinds are heavily soiled, you may need to resort to the opposite of the cleaning plan I outline below, such as a combination of dish soap, vinegar, and water solution, or even take the blinds off the windows to wash them. Clean in the bathtub. Wooden shutters may require more professional handling.

Secret weapon: get out the vacuum cleaner

Yes, you can use a rag or a microfiber cloth for sweeping, but the breakthrough for me was the smaller rag attachment (the one with the brush) on the vacuum. Doing this quickly usually takes me at least three times as long to achieve.

Vacuum cleaners of all sizes may have these attachments, which clip or pop onto a wand or hose.
