Summary
For everyday dusting wipe metal blinds with a good-quality micro-fibre cloth and water or the dust attachment and your vacuum. Once a month, wipe slats with an unused fabric-softener sheet; doing this repels dust. Every six months, grab an old clean sock and a bucket of soapy water. Dip the sock into water and wash blinds. Follow up with a clear water rinse. Once a year, remove blinds and fill your bathtub with hot water, 1 tsp. dish soap and one cup white vinegar. Allow the blinds to soak for a half hour or so.

Bring to a boil for five minutes. Turn element off, cover and leave overnight. Wash in the morning. Or sprinkle the bottom of the pot with a layer of dishwasher detergent powder.

Some people have also reported good results with leaving Coke in the pot overnight. Clean with as S.O.S. pad in the morning!See the full content of this document
