These window coverings get dusty and grimy - why pay for someone else to clean them when we can revive them at home ourselves easily? Here's how. 
Naturally, by the time you notice this grimy stage on your miniblinds, it's no longer possible to clean them where they hang. You can't do a thorough scrubbing job while dodging the window pane and trying not to ruin your wood floor or carpet - or trying not to damage the cords. It must come down. The quickest and most effective way to clean these vinyl and aluminum babies is to take them outside. 1 Choose a flat surface to begin the degrunging routine. Fill a bucket with warm water and your favorite laundry detergent (it contains the critical cleaning component here - a grease-cutting agent) and start wiping. 2 Using a soft brush with the soapy water, gently scrub the miniblind along each louver. Clean as far into the eyelet holes as possible at the end of each row. But don't scrub too energetically: You may end up removing more than just a year's worth of grunge - and remove the surface design or color instead. The painted finish is susceptible to both harsh chemicals and vigorous scrubbing. 3 Flip them over. Repeat as detailed above on the other side. After both sides have been scrubbed, it's time to rinse away the cleaner. 4 Hold them up or hang on a ladder or clothesline. Rinse clean with a garden hose or a bucket of water. Shake to remove excess water and allow to air dry. Or, wipe with a soft, clean towel. Rehang when dry. Cleaning Curtains at Home
