A quick how to on cleaning your indoor blinds without putting them in a tub, pool, or even having to touch every blade with a duster. I have 20+ blinds in my house and this method works great so I can do them all in one weekend.
I can’t thank you enough! I cleaned 15 blinds in under a hour. I did use the pump bottle with mr clean. I couldn’t believe how fast and clean they came out. It also works on the outside windows. I did all 15 at the same time. Thank you again!
I just used this method to clean my 6 blinds and it is AWESOME!! I have never cleaned my blinds so fast and they are really clean. Thank you for this great tip! FYI...I hung mine on my garage door track with the bungee cords.
Awesome! I was searching for an effective way to clean the blinds in my new house. This is the first video I viewed and it helped me through my thinking process for cleaning my blinds. My husband has bungee cords and we have a garage. I’ll be using this method tomorrow. Thank you👍🏾👍🏾
I was going to put my blinds in the tub as many others have done. But I started thinking it through csrefully before getting started and realized this would likely create another problem, that being what to do with dripping wet blinds that would need to be taken downstairs over champagne beige carpet. If there was the least bit of dirt that did not get rinsed down the drain I would then have dirty soggy carpet. Not good. I tried your method instead. Hung them with bungies on a rod supported by husband’s amplifier stands. WOW! Done in less than 10 minutes even though they had not been thoroughly washed in more than a decade! Look almost brand new! Truly shocking! THANK YOU!
I put mine in the tub and held at an angle for a moment, wrapped in a beach towel and hung in the window like normal with the towel in the window sill for a hour to catch the extra drips while they air dried.
This worked great. My elderly mother's kitchen blinds were probably last cleaned decades ago. Really filthy and something had gotten sprayed on them (they are over the sink) and they were covered with splatters. I did have to clean every blade in addition to the spraying and hosing but the job got done without breaking my back and they look great. The hardest part was figuring out how to take down those old blinds. The hardware was unfamiliar. Thanks!
I have the vinyl plank blinds that are so hard to clean I have tried everything... What worked was my handheld steam cleaner and of course I sprayed cleaner on the blinds first and then I steam cleaned they came out beautiful!
Very clever! This method was quick and effective. I hung my blinds from a tree branch in the back yard using 2 bungee cords. Thank you for posting this video.
Hands down the easiest way to clean blinds! I had some filthy blinds and this method made them sparkling white in minutes! I bought the gallon jug at Lowe’s, their price was much better than Amazon! This made a dreaded job SIMPLE! Thank you!
I’m gonna add this to my deep clean list for my parents house! They have a bunch of trees and many blinds. They’re coming home after being gone for 8 months and everything has a thick layer of dust and filth.
I tried this today and it sure beats putting blinds in the tub like I use to do. I hung them on the steel T-clothesline. I couldn't believe how easy it was. Only difference I still had to get a bucket and rag with some Dawn dishwashing liquid and wipe blinds because they were so dusty and dirty.No more cleaning a dirty tub when done. I want to thank you for sharing.
You need to clean the underside. It will have dirt and grease as well. It takes me 15 minutes to do a blind. Fully closed then reversed on both sides. Most need a scrub brush as well, especially on the cord near the pull knobs.
So far I've looked @ 4 methods to clean blinds & provided that I can get them down easily I'm so going w/ your method. Love this video thank you! I do house cleaning & some clients have theirs nailed in & some are easy to remove
I haven't taken them down, instead put a towel on the window sill and sprayed them with cleaner, then a few minutes later with water, and wiped them by swiping a cloth down or across (the other side of them) and they're done! Thank you for sharing!
Oh wow.......you just saved us days of work. We have to do our blinds in our whole house and just decided to youtube it......watched a few videos before we found yours and boy, are we glad we did. This is amazing!! Even bought the same degreaser Mean Green! Thank you so much for sharing this video!! Genius!!
Fabulous video and instructions on the blinds, have completed 9 of 18 windows. Gas blower for a quik dry works well too. Lowes in my area did not have the Mean Green, however Simple Green seemed to work fine.
Just tried this yesterday? It was very easy and came out really clean!! Once you get your setup not much to it! If you want to hurry it along use a leaf blower to help dry?
I did this method expect I put an extra shower curtain rod in the shower. Using my hand held shower head I cleaned them. I used to struggle washing them in the tub. It was awful. This is a game changer!!!
The Best video ! It'd obveouse that this is a great cleaner Your blind looks really like new. Thanks going to try this. I've watched lots off video s love this one
I have taken mine off, and scrub bed them in the tub, and then hung them up in the sunshine to dry. Works well, but this seems a little faster. Trying this technique this weekend!
I feel like this would be very helpful,but thete are just 3 blinds I want to clean in the small apartment where I leave.I am too lazy to take these 3 blinds down...far less if I lived in a house and had much more to clean...but thank you for that Sir.
I take mine down hang at top with a bent over clothes hanger and hang on lg twist drapery rod over tub. Spray down with Totally Awesome(recommend using mask) & as soon as I got to bottom I turned hot water shower sprayer on & rinsed. the dirt literally rolls up
Doesn't this warp the wood? Thanks for posting-I have been cleaning mine the old fashioned way wiping them down with a damp rag or cloth-slat by slat...they never really get clean-lol
I clean my mini blinds like this, and I never saw a video, on how to clean them. I hang mine on the clothes line. Just place the blinds metal frame over the clothes line rope, with the front part of the blinds facing you, and without untying the clothes line rope, wrap the rope over and upward the front ends of the blinds metal frame. This will hold it in its place, without anything else, like a bungee cord.
We have wood blinds and when we moved into our home we could see dust in it and the duster is not cutting it. I have been putting this project off way to long. I think washing them outside will be the quickest and most effective method. I just am worried about how to get my blinds on and off.
Same. I just asked this question a few moments ago. The cleaning part seems straightforward. Did you ever figure a simple way to remove the blinds without breaking anything?
@@cryengine_x I was thinking of two ladders as well. Use a broom or mop handle balanced between the two ladders? My bathtubs with showers do not have hand held sprayers, or I'd hand on the shower curtain rod as others have suggested. My stand up shower has a hand held sprayer, but it is a very small shower. The fumes from the cleaner would probably kill me, and I'd be soaked from being in the shower while cleaning. I don't have any trees. My only other option is to try to figure a way to hang them on my wooden fence, and the sun would dry them.
Jwh, did you get your Corona Honey dew list done man? lol During this time, all I see is long lines of men at the local hardware stores working on getting supplies for that list. Or just trying to escape home! lol She is like: You are at home all day! You have time. Hope it went well
Wonder if just hosing them down with just water would do the same, -do with false flowers & it takes the dust right off just by the pressure of the water.
We just found out that the previous owners of our house added decorative window frames over the top of the blind casing,so we can’t get any of our blinds out without ripping woodwork off the walls 🙄😩😬.
everybody who does this on YT and makes it look so easy doesn't even have dirty blinds. mine are coated in nasty grease layer from years of pan frying steaks, (the greasy smoke seeped throughout the house, I no longer do steaks this way) combined with dirt. Yeah, just dust like you have comes off like a breeze, cus yours arent dirty! Most YT blind cleaning vids are like these, they show off "super easy" method, but all they have is some dust. In one comment somebody recommended oven cleaner to clean tough blinds. It does seem more like the strength I need, but I'm wondering of will be so toxic it could actually damage my blinds...guess maybe i will spot test it. Mine are bad enough I looked into replacing them rather than cleaning. However it looks like that would cost a minimum 700 dollars to do all windows (double that easily if I go higher quality), and they'd be lower quality than I have now. So I'm going to clean them, it's a project! The weather is warming though, so I can do this outside soon.
@@dandiercks2109 they're not really cheap the ones in wal mart seem like flimsy junk compared to mine plus how do you get exact sizes? i have a lot of different size windows. but yeah, honestly buying new ones is probably the way to go. online you can buy them cut to any size. but i think it's at least $500 for all the blinds i need. i found a easy way online in other vids you can use i think bathtub cleaner, take the blinds outside and hang them up. or maybe oven cleaner i forget which lol. any way you slice it it's gonna be a hassle. then you spray them with a high pressure hose nozzle. the oven cleaner does all the work.
I was just going to throw mine in the tub n use hot water, but in other post on RU-vid a lot of people said getting them this wet will cause the strings to shrink and cause problems. Idk haven't tried anything yet, I have the faux wood type. Anyone have problems if u did it this way or in a tub?
