How to Dust Wood Blinds
We are smack dab in the middle of painting the inside of our house. As everything has gotten a new clean face…one thing that has been bothering me is the dust on our Wooden Levolor Blinds.
I have a solution for you so today I’m going to share with you how to dust wood blinds super fast!
Honestly, until very recently, I didn’t know how to dust our blinds.  And did you know that dust is 75% to 90% skins cells?! Yep…uh huh! So the dust had to GO, ASAP!  <shudder>
Prior to my discovery, I dreaded dusting the blinds so badly we interviewed a housekeeper to tackle them, (and other areas of the house that are a hassle).  But instead of spending $200/month for a housekeeper to clean, I ignored the dead skin cells.  BLEGH!
Back to where we are today…painting and it’s all clean but those blinds.  So I got out my trusty Google. All the sites I came across recommended you fill your bath tub with water and a little soap. Next you put your blinds in there for a minute or 2 and agitate the water. Pull out the blinds and let them dry. I was game but the problem is a few of our blinds are wider than our bath tub is long.
And I’m so happy to announce that I conquered the dusty blinds and it was so much easier than the bath tub method! Â Here’s how, but first…
Since we’re in Texas we can still do this as it’s not freezing outside.  For you Northerners, you have a few more weeks before snow flies.  Eeeek!  For you all, file this away as a great spring cleaning project.
Steps to Dust Wood Blinds
- Remove blinds from windows.
- Take them outside.
- Spray dust off with a water hose.
- Hang them over fence, railing, or table to dry.
- Replace blinds back on windows.
Seriously…that was so simple, I’m almost ashamed I made steps.  Ha!  But really truly, this worked like a charm to remove the dust.  Our blinds are spick and span clean and it was SO SO easy.  For our kitchen blinds, a few of them had a spot or two of grime.  For those, I simply took a damp rag and wiped the area.
And let me tell, our blinds look brand new! Â And in case you’re wondering, there is zero amount of warping or water damage on the wood. Wooohoo! Â I love easy cleaning solutions!

Spraying blinds is a great solution. I have to do this at home. Unfortunately I don`t have a suitable place to put them outside. So my blinds will dry inside. Cleaning is the most important part I suppose. Best regards!
Yes! Not a fun chore but wow, what a difference! Take care!
