- 1). Tilt blind slats closed.
- 2). Rub a damp fabric-softener sheet across each slat to remove static and dust, and to leave a fresh scent on the blinds and in the room.
- 3). Slip inexpensive cotton gloves (or a clean old tube sock) on each hand. Dip one hand into warm, soapy water made from a few squirts of dishwashing liquid. Holding each slat between your thumb and fingers, run the soapy hand along the length of each slat, cleaning both sides as you go.
- 4). Dip and rinse your hand as needed.
- 5). Wipe the slats dry with your hand in a dry glove or sock.
- 6). For seriously dirty miniblinds, follow steps 6 through 10. First, take down the blinds and submerge them in a bathtub filled with warm, soapy water (use dishwashing liquid).
- 7). Let the blinds sit in the water in the bathtub overnight.
- 8). Scrub each slat with a plastic scrubber sponge to dislodge the grime.
- 9). Rinse or soak the blinds in plain water, then take them outside to air-dry on an old lint-free sheet or blanket.

Rehang the blinds when they're dry. - 11
To keep your miniblinds clean longer, vacuum them weekly with a small brush attachment. Regularly sponge-clean your kitchen miniblinds to remove airborne cooking oils.
