Clean Blinds
How do you clean those blinds? The problem is not only getting close to the slats but getting the dust off the blinds as opposed to just moving the dust around.
One of the best ways I think is to use a lamb’s wool duster. Sometimes the blinds seem to have static cling but the lamb’s wool duster seems to suck up the dust and get’s it off the slat. And it is easy to get the duster in-between the slats so you can get the top of one slat as you dust the bottom of the other slat.
Another way is to use a dryer sheet. Again, the issue is static cling and these sheets will get the dust off the slat rather than moving it around. Try to grip the top and bottom of a slat as you cup the dryer sheet in your hand so you can do double duty when you are dusting.
During spring cleaning, my mother would often take a dust cloth and old gold cleaner to clean the slat. This would get the dust off and put a coating on the slat to keep dust from collecting as quickly. Her blinds looked nice, but it was a lot of work.
I think if you use the lamb’s wool duster frequently it keeps the dust from collecting on the slats and makes the cleaning job easier. The easier the task is, the more likely you will clean your blinds regularly.
