18 Apr 3 Tips for Keeping Your Blinds in the Best Shape

After you have found the perfect window coverings to complete your interior design, it’s important to care for them to keep them in top condition. Use the following tips to take good care of your window blinds:

1. Start with the Best
   Before you start to care for your blinds, you have to buy a high quality product. Choose window blinds that are both attractive and durable. When you buy the best window blinds, it is easier to keep them working for you.

1. Dust Regularly
   Dust is one of the biggest hindrances to any window coverings, especially blinds. Use a feather duster or a clean cloth to dust the blinds at least once a week. Make sure to go over both sides of the slats to get rid of any particles that could damage the blinds. Whether you have real or faux wood blinds, dusting is a great way to keep them looking their best.

1. Spot Clean When Necessary
   Dusting is not always enough to keep your window blinds in top condition. If you notice that your blinds are looking dirty, spot cleaning can help tremendously. Dampen a sponge with vinegar and water to clean faux wood and vertical blinds. For real wood, use a cloth slightly dampened with water or a product that is safe to use on wood. When you stay on top of cleaning your blinds, they will look like they were just installed, even after years of use.
