3 Tips for Cleaning Your Window Blinds

With summer winding down and the fall season getting into swing, holiday parties and get-togethers will become more common. Many homeowners will look to clean their homes, freshen up furniture, and deep clean floors. However, cleaning your interior window blinds is just as important for making a good impression on your guests.

Do you need some advice for cleaning Hunter Douglas blinds? At Ida & Norma’s Draperies, we’ve been helping customers keep their window treatments clean for years, and here are some of the ways that you can give your blinds a complete clean just in time for the fall season.

Clean Your Hunter Douglas Blinds Regularly

With anything that needs to be cleaned, the rule of thumb is the more often you clean it, the easier it will be, especially when it comes to window blinds. In busy households, dirt and grime can build up in just a matter of days. If you put off regular blind cleaning, the residue can leave stains that are difficult to clean.

Regular cleaning will ensure that the blinds are not permanently stained and can help make wiping down residue easier.

Use the Right Materials When Cleaning Your Window Blinds

You can find different kinds of Hunter Douglas window blinds with Ida & Norma’s Draperies, with materials ranging from 100% genuine wood to faux wood to modern metal blinds. Each type of material will require a different cleaning method, and we know the best way to approach each one.

  • Genuine wood: When cleaning your Hunter Douglas Parkland® Wood Blinds, one of the best ways to get your window treatment looking like new is to dust them with a vacuum or wipe them down with a soft cloth. Then, use a wood cleaner to get them completely clean. If your blinds are in the kitchen, you can instead use a vinegar solution.
  • Faux wood: If you have faux wood blinds in your home, such as the Everwood® Faux Wood Blinds from Hunter Douglas, you can start by dusting the blinds with a vacuum attachment or cloth. Then, use a damp cloth to wipe down each of your slats. After that, you can use a dry cloth to shine your blinds so they look as good as the day you got them.
  • Metal: Start by dusting your Hunter Douglas Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds with a vacuum attachment or cloth. Then, use a soft sponge and mild soap to clean off any built-on grime. You can then dry them with a microfiber cloth.
