How to Clean Blinds
When it comes to cleaning your window blinds, there are two effective methods to try:
- Submerge your blinds in a tub filled with soapy water and give them a quick scrub-down. This method is, of course, rather quick, though not always thorough, especially if your blinds are quite caked in old dirt and grime.
- Scrub your blinds by hand. This method is quite time-consuming compared to the bathtub method, but the results are often far more thorough.
How Often to Change Blinds
Blinds can last anywhere from 7 to 10 years depending on their material and build quality. As your blinds hit this age range, you should keep an eye on their appearance and performance to see when they're ready to go.
