5 Tips in Cleaning Your Automated Window Blinds

Motorized window blinds are also now a hot thing in Waterloo and Cedar Rapids. They are almost just the same as the other automated blinds in the state. Many people are now using these kinds of blinds not just for convenience but also for security purposes.

Anyway, proper cleaning of your automated window blinds is a must. They get dusty and dirty in the long run. So cleaning them is needed to ensure they can work properly. Uncleaned blinds can affect not only your blinds’ function but also your house’s cleanliness.

So here are a few tips for you in cleaning your automated window blinds.

RUBBER/DRY SPONGE

Typically, you can find this item at your local hardware store. It is effective in removing dust and dirt. Especially if your blinds are made from vinyl and fabric. You won’t need water and soap with this. You just wipe it across all corners of your blinds and you are good to go. 

BRUSH ATTACHMENT

If your blinds are made of fabric, you will need a vacuum in cleaning them. But do not worry, this does not mean you will be using the vacuum above your head! You can use a brush attachment or accessory. It will help you to clean the hard-to-reach areas of your blinds such as the part near the ceiling. Using a brush attachment can also suck dust and dirt effectively. 

DO NOT SOAK

It is a No-no! Whatever material your blinds are made of, never ever soak nor spray the cleaners directly unto them. That can ruin your blinds. If ever you want to clean your blinds with water to easily remove dust and dirt, do this by using a damp towel. Then clean thoroughly. 

LAMB’S WOOL

Lamb’s wool is a great material in making your blinds spotless from dust and dirt. Instead of using a plastic duster in cleaning, invest in a lamb’s wool duster. This is very effective if your blinds are Venetian blinds. Just work your way down to catch falling dirt and dust.
