With warmer weather and sun on the horizon it would be a great time to think about taking down your blinds and getting them clean. It’s often a task that gets put off, but when the weather is sunny there could not be a better time to do it. Below are tips on how to get your blinds clean and looking great again!

• Take the blind down and take it outside.
• Lay it on an old blanket preferably on a slanted area of the yard.
• Let the blind out all the way and make sure all the louvers are flat.
• Mix up a bucket of all-purpose cleaner or ammonia solution.
• Scrub with a soft brush then turn it over to do the back side.
• By now the blanket is wet and is helping to clean the blind and protecting it.
• Hang the blind on a clothesline and hose it off.
• Gentle shaking will help it begin to drip dry.
