No matter what kind of blinds you have, wooden, fabric, and vertical are the three basic types. These tips will make cleaning and maintenance easy:

• Vacuum blinds often with the brush attachment. Vacuum across the slats, not up and down.
• Use a lamb’s-wool duster, again working across the slats and starting at the top. Do not use plastic dusters.
• When dusting or vacuuming vertical blinds, brush downward only, as the slats often become unhooked if you brush upward.
• Use a rubber sponge, also known as a dry sponge (found at hardware and paint stores), to remove dust and residue from both fabric and vinyl blinds. Simply wipe the dry sponge firmly across the blinds.
• For spot cleaning, spray an all-purpose cleaner onto a clean, dry cloth and wipe the soiled area of the blind. Never spray the cleaner directly onto the blind.
• You can wet wooden blinds when cleaning, but don’t soak them. Clean them in place instead of removing them, as you would for other types of blinds.
• If fabric blinds become very dirty, take them to a dry cleaner.
• Do not clean blinds by spraying them with a car-wash hose or dunking them in the tub one slat at a time.
• To clean metal and vinyl blinds: take the blinds outside to your patio or driveway and lay them on a small rug or piece of carpet. Put a few drops of dishwashing soap in a bucket of water. Wet a car-washing brush and brush the blinds from side to side, then turn them over and brush the other side. Rinse the blinds gently with a garden hose while tilting them so the water runs off. To prevent water spots, quickly run your finger down the slats a couple of times to remove excess water. When done, drape the blinds over a fence or a couch to dry.

Motorized window coverings are great for windows that are high up and hard to reach, such as great room windows on the back of the house at second-story level, 22+ feet up, or windows over a bathtub where it’s too hard to reach. If you travel a lot and want to make it appear that you’re home, you can automate the raising and lowering of your shades via an app on your phone.
