Wood blinds are great for many different rooms and areas. These kinds of blinds need to be cleaned properly to be able to maintain their appearance and durability.

Wooden slats and woven wood are among the more common designs which your binds may have. For cleaning wood blinds will need your fair amount of work especially for those with slats.

Wooden Slats’ Cleaning Procedure

It can be a very tiring task to clean wood blinds with slats and it may even need you to take them down from their installation in some cases where they may be too dirty to clean the normal way. Cleaning them daily may only need you to brush off the dust with a cleaning cloth but for cleaning wood blinds with slats it may be necessary for you to take them apart and clean the pieces individually.

There is another way of cleaning wood blinds other than the common way of using a dry cloth to remove the dust. This method is to wipe the blinds with a damp cloth and in turn use dry cloth to clean off the moisture. This wood blind cleaning procedure of using a dry cloth helps prevent the inadvertent seepage of water into the wood. If water seeps into the wood it may result in discoloration and warping of the wood, and this is certainly something to avoid as it will damage the beauty of your wood blinds. When cleaning wood blinds such as these is always best to wipe dry any water or liquid residue on the slats in order to avoid such problems.

Vacuuming is also another convenient way of cleaning wood blinds. Attaching a brush feature on the end of the vacuum makes the procedure of cleaning wood blinds easy. One just needs to sweep the brush feature across closed slats to ensure the efficient way of cleaning wood blinds. This is great for daily cleaning of light dust.

How To Clean Woven Blinds

For a number of wood blinds they may be woven and could present a challenging task of cleaning. However, in reality the cleaning of woven wood blinds is considerably easier compared to cleaning slatted blinds. The use of vacuuming is perhaps the simplest and certainly easiest way to clean woven wood blinds, and is the perfect method for daily cleaning. But if the dust has made its way in and settled in the crevices then the use of a bristle brush may be required to clean the woven wood blinds. For this type cleaning it is definitely a lot easier to bring down the woven blinds and then clean them instead of leaving the blinds installed then trying to clean.
