Cleaning blinds can be a quick and efficient task if done correctly. To clean blinds in less than 30 minutes, start by closing them and using a microfiber cloth or duster to remove loose dust. For fabric blinds, vacuum gently with a brush attachment. For plastic or metal blinds, fill a bucket with warm water and a mild detergent. Dip a sponge or cloth into the soapy water, squeeze out excess moisture, and wipe each slat from top to bottom. Rinse the cloth frequently. For stubborn stains, use a mixture of water and vinegar. Finally, wipe dry with a clean cloth or let them air dry.
