Residences across America often feature window coverings (they increase privacy, allow for natural light control and increase energy savings). One of the most popular window coverings are vinyl mini blinds. Vinyl mini blinds are consistently popular because they are affordable.
Affordability is an especially high priority in a tough economy. Proper cleaning and maintenance of products is another aspect that is assigned a higher priority during a tough economy. Consumers looking to get the most out of their product realize that properly caring for the vinyl mini blinds can increase their usable life as well as increase their ability to function at a high level. Cleaning them is easy; just follow the steps below.
1. The feather duster is the first step. This will do the majority of the upkeep. If it’s done often enough it will be able to knock lose any collecting dust and/or debris easily that is collecting on the vinyl mini blinds.
2. When something is needed that’s a bit more thorough than the feather duster owners should turn to a damp rag. The trick with the damp rag cleaning is to make sure it is only damp; not wet. Owners should also develop a pattern so that there aren’t any portions of the vinyl mini blinds that are “missed” during the process.
3. If a damp rag process still leaves debris on the blinds it’s time to remove them from their installation position. Taking them down will allow owners to lay them out in an appropriate outdoor area to spray them off with a household hose for more intensive cleaning.
4. If there is no outdoor area available for the purpose of spraying off dirty vinyl mini blinds owners can fill a bathtub with warm water/all purpose cleaner. Letting the blinds soak a few minutes will help the debris fall off. Owners can try moving the blinds around in the water gently if there is still debris stubbornly sticking to the blinds after soaking.
5. And if none of the above does the trick owners can always try the car wash. The car wash offers access to high powered spraying devices that can really get to work on dirty vinyl mini blinds. Owners should consider the fact that their vinyl mini blinds will be wet after their cleaning so a pile of towels to protect the transporting vehicle isn’t a bad idea.
Most of the time owners of vinyl mini blinds find that regular dusting is all that is needed to keep their products in tip top shape. But those who find themselves needing to resort to a more intensive cleaning process find the design that allows the product to be removed for cleaning a definite advantage. And removing the blinds is simple and easy; any DIYer can accomplish the task quickly.
