Ways to Clean Wood Blinds

By Nichole Liandi

  • Overview

    Wood blinds can be an excellent decor item for your home. Unfortunately, they can get dusty and dirty quite easily. There are several different ways to keep them clean and looking their best.
    • Step 1

      Dust your blinds with a Swiffer duster. The flat surfaces of wood blinds will pick up dust easily. Regular dusting with a Swiffer duster will pick up the dust and make keeping the blinds clean easier over time.
    • Step 2

      Wipe the blinds with a damp cloth and a diluted wood cleaner. Mix warm water and a mild wood cleaner in a bucket. Dip in a rag and wring it well, then wipe the blinds with the rag. Dry with a clean, soft cloth. This will give your wooden blinds a deeper clean than simple dusting.


    • Step 3

      Apply a wooden furniture polish. After the blinds are thoroughly clean, wipe them down with a rag dampened with a wooden furniture polish. This will bring out the shine in the wood and make cleaning dust and dirt off the blinds easier in the future.
