This is the proper way to wash and wax a standard mini-blind, using the method I've used for the last twenty-two years. This video shows a standard aluminum mini-blind. However, this method can also be used with PVC and faux wood blinds. DO NOT use on any natural wood blinds or fabric shades that could be damaged by excessive water.

I know it looks like I’m being very rough with the blind and bumping the wand around a lot. It’s because I’ve been doing this for a very long time. I’m comfortable handling blinds and know how much abuse they can take without harming them. I have several thousand customers who can tell you that I never damage there blinds. Plus, I also have the parts and the ability to repair them in the off chance I do break one. That said, this video was originally made as a training video for the people who bought my Orange County California operation in 2015. It was not really intended for happy home owners who want to clean their own blinds. Non-professionals would be wise to take extra care if they attempt this on their own.

Stay tuned Sunita, I am working on putting together some helpful repair videos. The hardest part about re-cording a blind or shade is having the proper cord. You can't use common cord that you can find at the hardware or craft stores. It has to be the round braided cord that is made for use in window coverings. There are several places it can be ordered online. But your best bet is to call a professional blind repairman.

Nathan Hill, actually those wash boards are from an experimental portable blind cleaning system I was working on. I built them from 2x2’s and 1/4” plywood with several coats of premium exterior house paint. Any large flat vertical surface should work fine though. I’m not cleaning blinds professional anymore. But, recently I washed some blinds for a friend. I screwed a couple of angle irons to the side of the house...instant blind washing surface. Finding a place to dry them took a little more creativity.

Great job 👏. Although with this technique even though you do both sides, there that fine line where the blinds over lap. Leaving a line still that gets missed. I still have to lay it flat & go over individually to remove that over lapped line. Takes forever! Does yours still have that over flapped line?

It took on a life of its own after that. However, even if I was still in the business, I have no problem educating people on how to do something for themselves. There is plenty of work for clients who don’t do these types of chores themselves to keep professional blind cleaning businesses busy.

What kind of brush are you using as in what type of bristle is safe to not scratch metal blinds? I recently did a blind cleaning and I was told to use a horse hair brush and all that brush did was leave a million horse hairs all through the blind that caused me to go and pick them all out individually. Is it nylon or something else?

Hope this helps someone. I take it outside and hang it up someway like this guy did and spray 'scrubbing bubbles' on it and after about 3 minutes I spray it off. Then get a 3" to 4" PVC pipe and cut it to length you want and glue and cap one end - stick your blind in there and fill it with bleach and water and lean it up against something for 24 hrs, take it out and rinse. My blinds are white though and not colored.

That might get your blinds clean, but you’ll ruin them in the process using such harsh chemicals. Total overkill. You also probably took several years off the life of those blinds you washed with that method. Plus you wasted a lot of money using bathroom cleaner when a simple degreaser will do. For better results, use car wash/wax solution.

If you don't know your ass from a set of Venetian Blinds then I can't help you. This method of cleaning Blinds has served me and my business very well for 24 years. If you do not find this video helpful, please feel free to develop your own method and post your video.

I have developed a far superior technology called The Blind Robot. Soon you will be obsolete.. Resistance is futile. Relinquish your list of customers and we shall let you live to tell the tale of The Blind Robot to your kin. Show respect and bow to your new overlord. Bowww!

This is not useful for wooden venetian blinds.

redrock1963 You are correct. I mention at the beginning that this method is only good for metal or plastic blind that won’t be harmed by water. For wood blinds and shutters I recommend that you hand clean each vain with a product like Murphy’s Oil Soap.

Those things are great for keeping all types of blinds clean, but will not cut through built up grim like the Oil Soap will. And, it won’t leave them smelling as nice. Another bonus with Murphy’s is that you don’t need to rinse it off. Just wipe each slat clean and let it dry. Then use your new micro duster weekly to keep them clean.

@@DennisOnMaui - Yeah I reckon you're right. In the past I have hung my blinds in the garage from a 2 x 4 that I have attached to my car hoist. - It allows me to raise the hoist up to drop them the entire length. I've then gone over them with compressed air and then a damp rag. I'm in Australia so not sure which product will have the active ingredient of the Murphy’s Oil Soap you mentioned but I'll keep an eye out for it. Cheers.

Not only is that wasteful and terrible for the environment, if your blinds cost less than cleaning them, they are junk blinds.

I know it looks like I’m being very rough with the blind and bumping the wand around a lot. It’s because I’ve been doing this for a very long time. I’m comfortable handling blinds and know how much abuse they can take without harming them. I have several thousand customers who can tell you that I never damage there blinds. Plus, I also have the parts and the ability to repair them in the off chance I do break one. That said, this video was originally made as a training video for the people who bought my Orange County California operation in 2015. It was not really intended for happy home owners who want to clean their own blinds. Non-professionals would be wise to take extra care if they attempt this on their own.
