Our wooden blinds here at Controlux Blinds are of high quality that ensure they are long lasting. Of course, this doesn’t mean that neglecting them as a whole can occur. Cleaning your blinds are still hugely important and beneficial to the longevity of them in total. Every blind needs different attention at varied periods of time. Continue reading to find out more!
The Process Of Cleaning
If you are wondering how to clean wooden blinds, then it actually is quite simple. It is just important to know what kinds of cleaning materials are best and most beneficial and how often you need to do so, so your rooms are refreshed.
For a quick clean:
- Close the blinds so all slats face one way.
- Dust with a microfiber cloth or a soft brush attachment on a vacuum. Work from top to bottom so dust doesn’t fall on already-cleaned areas.
- Flip the slats the opposite way and repeat. This gets both sides without bending anything.
For a deeper clean:
- Mix a small amount of mild soap (like a drop of washing-up liquid) with warm water.
- Lightly dampen a cloth. Don’t soak it as wood can warp if it gets too wet.
- Wipe each slat gently, then immediately dry with a clean cloth.
- Pay extra attention to the headrail, cords and bottom bar since they collect more dust.
How Often Should I Clean Wooden Blinds
Wooden blinds don’t need constant attention, but a simple routine will keep them looking great for years. Aim to give them a light dust once a week with a microfiber cloth or vacuum brush to stop dust building up on the slats. Every month or two, do a deeper clean by wiping each slat with a slightly damp cloth and a little mild soap, then drying it straight away to avoid moisture damage. If you notice splashes, fingerprints or marks in between, spot clean them as soon as possible so they don’t stain or affect the finish. In rooms that get more moisture or cooking vapour, like kitchens, you may find you need to clean your wooden blinds a little more often.
