How do you clean wooden mini blinds?

When I bought my house it came with wooden mini blinds in the upstairs living room. I've noticed they're becoming dusty but I have no idea how to clean them. What is the easiest way to go about doing this. I also have a 10 month old so I want to use the safest way possible. Thank you.|||I have wooden blinds throughout in my home (and a little one as well, so I understand the concern for safe cleaners!)





What I do is, I take the blinds outside and squirt them down with the hose, add some Murphy's Oil Soap to an snow brush (I know, sounds strange, but it works like a charm!), rinse clean, and let them dry in the sun. I do this every year. I also use fabric softener dryer sheets in the winter months for a quick clean. The softener on the sheet acts as a barrier, so it actually repels dust.





Hope this helps! Good luck!|||1. Close the blinds where the dusty side is toward you.





2. Take a wisk broom or a regular sized broom and brush them side to side.





3. Then, use a vacuum with the soft brush.





Anything left needs a swiffer - on contact. This should be quick. Don't get them wet with a damp cloth unless you commit to wiping every single slat individually.








Just keep the baby in the other room.|||Do not use water or chemical cleaners on wood blinds, instead use a old soft paintbrush just brush the blinds with the brush thats it they will be free of dust Good Luck !|||Murphy's Oil soap works well on all wood. Just follod the directions and you should be good. It works for me!|||Murphy's Oil Soap and water. Wash them with this using a rag.
