3 Pro Tips for Cleaning Wood and Faux Wood Blinds
Wood and faux wood blinds add a timeless elegance to any home, but keeping them clean can be challenging without the right approach.
Whether you have natural wood or faux wood blinds, using proper techniques will maintain their beauty and functionality for years to come.
If you have been wondering how to clean wood or faux wood blinds, here are three pro tips from Blindsmith Inc., your trusted source for quality window treatments near Arvada, Colorado.
How to Clean Wood and Faux Wood Blinds
1. Dust Regularly to Prevent Build-Up
The first step in keeping wood or faux wood blinds clean is regular dusting. Use a microfiber cloth, a feather duster, or a vacuum with a gentle brush attachment to remove dust. Gently clean each slat individually to avoid scratching or bending them.
- Pro Tip: Always close the blinds in one direction, clean, then reverse and repeat for thorough coverage.
- Routine dusting prevents debris from accumulating, making deep cleaning less frequent.
2. Use Gentle Cleaning Solutions
Avoid harsh chemicals or water that can warp the wood for deeper cleaning, especially for natural wood blinds.
When cleaning faux wood blinds, you have more flexibility. Faux wood is moisture-resistant, so it can handle a slightly damp cloth without issues.
- Mix a very small amount of mild dish soap with warm water.
- Dampen a soft cloth (not soaking wet!) and gently wipe down each slat.
- Immediately dry with a soft, clean, dry cloth to prevent moisture damage.
3. Spot Clean Tough Stains
For stubborn spots, like grease or smudges, focus on spot cleaning to avoid over-wetting the entire blind.
- Dab the area with a soft cloth dipped in a mild soap solution.
- Avoid scrubbing, which can damage finishes or leave marks.
- For faux wood blinds, a non-abrasive sponge can help lift tougher stains without scratching.
